Cannot add more tables/fields to database log setup

Posted on by WeepingAngel 47
Hi,
We are using the database log to track various changes to setups and master data. Since recently, I have been unable to add any more fields or tables to it. I go through the wizard but it doesn't let me finish, the /Finish/ button is greyed out (see: screenshot)
 
 
Has anyone encountered this issue before? Is there maybe a limit to a specific number of records that are allowed in the log, so it would prevent me from setting up anything new before cleaning up the existing logs? I can't think of anything else why the wizard wouldn't let me finalize this. I have system admin rights.
I have the same question (0)

    I found the answer to my own question - the wizard blocks finishing before a recurring clean up job is set up to run on the database log. Once such a job is set up, I can finish the process successfully. Not sure why Microsoft didn't explain this better. I also couldn't find this change in any release notes, and it definitely didn't exist before since we were able to set up everything so far without a recurring cleanup job.
