Administration > History logs: Allow extension on table's field to include previous value.

Reference: https://communityhub.sage.com/us/sage_x3/f/general-discussion/250384/administration-history-logs-how-to-get-previous-value-of-a-group-entity-without-pressing-the-group-or-accessing-mongodb-backend/600430

Short answer: I am lazy to RDP into the server and do MongoDB queries.

Long answer: I may not have access to the RDP (without dealing with client's red tapes) and the admins can be careless at times (including me). Modification are usually impossible to guess in a general overview table without a previous value field being shown, leading to a time-wasting exercise in checking every single records in details to find out the previous values. The value shown are the final value which assumes the contracted admin somehow knew the final value is the one that is wrong (most of the time I get asked why a group/role disappeared and it is not easy to find out without a previous value reference in overview table).

Request: Either add a previous value field on the history log table or a way for the partner to extend the table without introducing issues.
