No 'edit date' information for Field History ??

[k_marketing]

1) I enabled Field History Tracking

2) I called getUpdated('ContactHistory', ...

3) retrieve('ContactId,Field,OldValue,NewValue', 'ContactHistory', ...

... but how can I get the date that the OldValue was changed into NewValue?

The info clearly exists - I can get it in a report, ex:

http://success.salesforce.com/questionDetail?qid=a1X30000000I8HZEA0

Appreciate any pointers.

Thanks

You want the CreatedDate field (the date that row of history was created, which is when it was changed)

Hi Simon

Darn it - that's exactly what I need.

I also need to start using describeSObject() since that clearly shows that field too ... I am misreading something or do the docs not have all the fields for "ContactHistory Object" (index section of http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api/index_Left.htm) ?

Thanks !

Oh hey The Simon Fell ... big props on BeatBox too !!

It looks like the docs sometimes include the standard audit fields and sometimes don't, i'll log a bug to clean that up, thanks for pointing it out.

Glad you've found beatbox useful.
