Answer: How to audit default fields

[rgtft]

There probably is a FAQ section, but I have not found it. I find the forum search to not be very granular. I end up using Google's site search instead of the forum search.

I hope the following helps someone.

How to set audit flag for default fields in Sugar

Version: Sugar Community Edition 5.1.0b
OS: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10

1. Create/modify php file in /custom/Extension/modules/Contacts/Ext/Vardefs/custom.php
2. Make sure owner of the above file (custom.php) is owned by same user/account as your webserver is running (use chown command if switch is needed)
3. Rebuild Sugar extensions thorugh Admin, Repair, Rebuild Extensions
4. Verify audit flag is set through Admin, Studio, Contacts, Fields

Note: if you are changing a field in another module than Contacts, replace that module name with Contacts in the above instructions.

custom.php file:

<?php
/*
  Make default contact fields auditable.
*/

$dictionary['Contact']['fields']['primary_address_street']['audited'] = true;
$dictionary['Contact']['fields']['primary_address_city']['audited'] = true;
$dictionary['Contact']['fields']['primary_address_state']['audited'] = true;
$dictionary['Contact']['fields']['primary_address_postalcode']['audited'] = true;
$dictionary['Contact']['fields']['primary_address_country']['audited'] = true;
$dictionary['Contact']['fields']['alt_address_street']['audited'] = true;
$dictionary['Contact']['fields']['alt_address_city']['audited'] = true;
$dictionary['Contact']['fields']['alt_address_state']['audited'] = true;
$dictionary['Contact']['fields']['alt_address_postalcode']['audited'] = true;
$dictionary['Contact']['fields']['alt_address_country']['audited'] = true;
$dictionary['Contact']['fields']['birthdate']['audited'] = true;
$dictionary['Contact']['fields']['first_name']['audited'] = true;
$dictionary['Contact']['fields']['last_name']['audited'] = true;
$dictionary['Contact']['fields']['title']['audited'] = true;

When I set this for the accounts module in 5.2.0a, all the fields become auditable except for the address field.
Is the address field in Accounts any different?

When I set this for the accounts module in 5.2.0a, all the fields become auditable except for the address field. Is the address field in Accounts any different?

I'm on 5.1.0, so I'm not sure if something has changed between 5.1 and 5.2 -- you wouldn't think so.

Try this:

1. Create a test/dummy account
2. Edit the test/dummy account and change the primary/shipping address
3. Save the address change
4. Click on the 'View Change Log' button
5. See if your address change was logged

In Studio, Admin does your shipping_address_street field have a check mark showing audit?

Sorry I don't have a better answer.
