Count list item changes

Question

I need to count how many times a number field in a SharePoint 2019 list changed. Is it possible using any OOTB features or development solution?

Hi @kevin7,

You can trace the value change for the field control in the new form using jQuery like this:

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
  $('input[title="fieldname"]').get(0).onvaluesetfrompicker=DatePickerChanged;    
});

function DatePickerChanged() {
    // Do stuff

    alert("value changed");
}
</script>
