Dynamics CRM Change Tracking: Retreive information on columns changed in the update of a record?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

Hello, 

Dynamics CRM 2015 and higher offers the Change Tracking feature exposed through the OData WebApi. With this feature one can identify (Guids of the records) specific records for an entity have been added/changed of deleted.

My question is: does the possibility exist in the WebApi Change Tracking action or possibly SOAP endpoint to also get back information regarding the columns that were changed by an update on an entity record?

 

Reading on the Change Tracking feature in SQL Server (where the functionality in CRM is probably based upon?) this information can be provided, but is and or will it also be provided through the WebApi OData interface?

 

Regards Rob

    Thanks you for the provided links, yes I am aware of this information and we are currently using the Change Tracking mechanism for synchronization. However this only provides use the information if an entity has changed, not which field has changed.  Knowing which field has changed, allows us to perform more fine grained synchronizations, which is something we need.
