Will removing options from a Pick list effect the audit log?

Posted on by maustin

If I had some records that had a field (optionset) that was populated with some data that I plan to remove, and updated it with a valid option. Then when I remove the options from the Pick list, how will that look on the audit trail? Will the audit trail still show the value of the option I had removed? Or will it mess up the audit trail?

OptionSet

"A"

"B"

"C"

CRM Record associated with OptionSet selected = "B"

Update the CRM record to show OptionSet selected = "A"

Removed "B" from OptionSet

Updated OptionSet

"A"

"C"

Will the Audit trail still show that the CRM Record had a value of "B" at one time?

Hello,

The Audit records will be unaffected and yes, it will keep showing that there was a "B" at one time.

The Audit system is specifically designed to keep an accurate track record of all past interactions and data, regardless of what happens in the future. A copy of the actual value will be stored in the audit record for safe keeping.

Don't worry about changing your OptionSet :-)
