Need Refinement on Update Section in Project/Task

I have created a custom field called "Product Scope," which is a multi-select dropdown. I want to track the changes made to this field, so I added it to the Update Feeds.
When I update the field, I can see the logs in the Updates section of a project. However, when I remove 2 values and select 2 different values, it creates 4 separate log entries.
Is this the expected behavior? The audit log says, "User updated Product Scope to Value1," which implies that the Product Scope is now only "Value1." However, since this is a multi-select field, there are other selected options as well.

Do you also see this in the Updates section for Multi-select fields?

    This seems like a limitation to me. I’d recommend raising it as an improvement request with Adobe so they can potentially consolidate this into a single update that supports multiple values, rather than requiring this approach.

    I’m seeing the same behavior you described as well. 😞

     

    If this solved your issue, please mark it as solved so others can find the solution faster.

      Yes this is expected, Workfront logs each value in a multi-select field as a separate change, so adding/removing multiple values at once will always create multiple entries. It's not a bug, just how the system tracks it at the value level.

      If you need a cleaner audit trail, a Journal Entry report filtered to that specific field gives you a bit more control over how you view the changes. Won't reduce the entries but makes it easier to read in a report format.

      Alternatively if you're open to using Fusion, you could watch for changes on that field and post a single consolidated update comment back to the project summarizing what changed. More setup but cleaner result.

      Agreed it should be raised as an improvement request though, a single grouped log entry for multi-select edits would make way more sense.
