New Workfront Form Builder removes ability to "Track field changes in Update feeds"

[#1]

We are on a Quarterly product release schedule and in the upcoming "24.7" Release, Adobe has stated that they will be replacing the legacy form builder with the new "Form Designer".  In the legacy form builder, for each field, we have ability to enable the option "Track field changes in update feeds".  This option was removed from the new Form Designer and now the only way to set this option is from the Interface tab under Setup.  (Setup > Interface > Update Feeds > Tracked Fields > Custom Fields). 

I submitted a ticket to Support, and received the following suggestion:

If you would like to see this checkbox to track these fields be retained within the Custom Forms area as it was in legacy, please submit this as a feature request via our Workfront community on our Experience League site.

So here I am, requesting that this ability be retained in the new Form Designer tool.  Please!

I'd noticed but assumed it was an oversight that would be remedied before the legacy designer was fully retired. I would consider the omission to be a bug myself.

@KatherineLa  I was thinking the exact same thing until I saw the announcement that Form Builder will replace the legacy tool this week.  Hopefully Adobe gets enough feedback to consider adding it to the new Form Designer tool.

I am also curious and concerned about this one! I just asked it as a question on here to try to get a little more coverage.

I thought track changes of a particular field kept the original copy in the field AND showed the new copy when edited/changed. From what I can see since the new release, the updated copy only shows (along with what field was edited), but doesn't keep the original copy in the System activity. Was this changed or was this never the case? It would be incredibly helpful to show both the original and new field updates.

I would also like for the track changes to live within the form builder!

When I test with a tracked field, I see a line that has 'So and So' updated <Tracked Field> to <New Value>'. If I change that field, I get another line that says 'Kat Lanning updated <Tracked Field> to <New Value>' and the previous entry remains in the system activity log.

I'm slightly second-guessing myself based on your question, but I think that's how it's always worked? I don't remember a message that ever had the old value and new value in the same auto-update.

If you did need a clear before/after though, a Journal Entry report would get you what you're looking for pretty quickly.
