@Sanford Whiteman Is there a way to know which field was updated latest in marketo, for ex: if I have field A, Field B, and field C and the values captured in them are 100, 50 and 200 respectively. So is there a way to know which field has been updated the with value latest.

Thanks,

Arvind. R

I'm not Sanford, but all of this information is contained in the Activity Log of a lead record.

I'd like to understand the use case. Marketo itself wouldn't make it easy to do this except through the API and coding to compare values and Data Value Was Changed entry.

Like Josh, I'd like to know the use case.

If there are just a few fields you want to manage, then use another field like ​LatestUpdatedAmongFieldsABC. ​Every time you get a ​Data Value Changed ​trigger ​for one of the fields, overwrite ​LatestUpdated... ​with the name of that field. Better yet, set the value to the

     FieldA: {{system.datetime}}

Then you can both match on the field name and know when it was updated, if that's interesting in another context.
