    You may setup database log for this purpose.

    You can simply set the modified by property to yes in the table to see the last modified userid.
     
    Or You can setup the Database log in System administration.

    Hi.
     
    For something like this the only way to be certain about who is changing given fields, is to setup database logging.
     
     
    This will help you identify future changes to tables/fields which you enable logging on.
     
    However you will need to be careful when selecting the types of tables and fields which you enable logging on, as it is generally not recommended to setup logging on transactional tables with larger volumes of changes.

    Hi Yasir,
     
    I saw 10 replies for you but I cound not view them. I don't know why? 
     
    By the way, I would like to share two easy ways to trace who changed your customer name in D365FO.
    Noted that make sure you should do it immediately when finding the name changed to avoid someone update another field and saved with another modified name.
     
    In this case, I will show you my customer name is "Contoso Europe", somebody changed it to "Contoso Europe fwefwe  wewdwdw wdqwdqwdqwdwq". Then I will trace who changed.
     
    1. In the right-top of the Grid of "All customer" form adding a new field called "Modified by" from "Global address book" table. Then I knew exactely who has just changed the name in added column. 
     
    2. If you are administrator of SQL, you can also write a script below to trace who has done this.  
     
    I hope you can take advantage of this guide and solve the problem you are asking about.
     
    Bill
