Yeah it's actually a pretty neat feature! I'll see if we can get a bit more documentation to talk about it more :)

Thank you, this solution worked for me.

This was the first time I have seen the fv!currentPage used as there's not much information on it outside of the one mention in the docs and Peter Lewis mentioning it in the community

Yeah, that could work. Give it a try.

Stefan Helzle You are right and I was thinking about this how to make it simple.
here is an idea. If it is business critical, I would add one column in Audit table to track which columns has changed and use that to highlight which columns has changed

That's not a simple task. If you want to do this at runtime inside an interface, you would have to query the data first. Then Iterate on each individual field and create a data structure that holds the data about what has changed. Then you can feed that into the grip.

RE: How to highlight changes in read only grid

Kumar Agniwesh — Thu, 05 Sep 2024 23:04:19 GMT

Can be achieved. May be track customrecord field in Record which would tell you if particular column data has changed and use that to change the color of the entry.

You would need one custom record field to track per column.
