Re: How can I simplify the Audit-Trail and still keep all the values?

[Daniel Quimper]

Hi,

Have you though of changing the audit-trail-format to just show the OLD 
value. The new value been in the PR, you don't need to have it into the 
audit-trail as well.

You can probably modify the email notification to display the old and 
new value for convenience.

My 2 cents...
