Historical value for a specific field #35

Hello, First many thank's for your code. I've got more a user question than an issue :

Do you know if i can use WPDCF to store historical values for one field (ie like a stock price or a historic weather datatable) ?

Many thanks

B.

Hi there, there's no facility for a history of custom fields values.

The fact that by default WordPress allows multiple values per field makes me wonder if it would be easy to do using that. I guess the drawback to that relatively simple approach would be that you wouldn't have a date for any of the values, just the historical order (from the meta id).

Either way, while I keep this plugin up-to-date, generally new features are driven by the requirements of my own projects - though I'm very open to pull requests :-)
