Change log on Sales Header / Shipment Date

I can only agree. The Change Log is quite often not even showing what the user directly change. The reason is that when you say yes to update the lines it does a MODIFY of the header (function UpdateSalesLines) in C/AL. This MODIFY ensures the header gets updated in the same transaction as the lines. (Actually a frequent error by many developers to forget when updating "children")

After the transaction started by the OnValidate is finished, is the user placed back in the form. When the user press esc/page-up (etc.) the automatic update is started, that might store something in the ChangeLog. However, it will not find any differences, so it will not log anything.

This situation MIGHT be changed by Update 1 to 4.0. I seem to remember that the logic to find xRec has been changed, but I don't know if it solves this problem.

You can also solve the problem yourself, however you can only do it one by one. For example like this:

UpdateSalesLines(ChangedFieldName : Text[100];AskQuestion : Boolean)
  ...
  SalesLine.LOCKTABLE;

  // >>
  RecRef.GETTABLE(Rec);
  xRecRef.OPEN(RecRef.NUMBER);
  xRecRef.GET(RecRef.RECORDID);
  ChangeLogManagement.LogModification(RecRef,xRecRef);
  // <<

  MODIFY;
  SalesLine.RESET;
  ...

(Not tested, but it should work - otherwise let me know ;-))

Do I need to initiate ChangeLogManagement? Or 4 strings make the record in table change log entry?

The four lines should be enough. However; test it carefully before putting it in production, since my code comes with no guarantee :-)
