Feature Idea: Visualize History #478

Open sbishel opened 3 years ago

sbishel commented 3 years ago

Summary: Be able to view the history of an item. When fields changed, etc.

How important this is to me and why: Medium.

Use cases:

  1. Determine how long it takes items to move from one status to next.
  2. Understand when a field was changed and by whom

Additional context / similar features: Jira has a history feature.

I would love to see this added!

This would be a great feature, especially when you make it as easy to make changes as Focalboard does, having history of each card is crucial.

I believe this feature would also meet my needs.

I am hoping to replace Kanboard with Focalboard. One critical part of my workflow is the ability to export a list of transitions between columns (in Focalboard, this would be the date/time when the status changed). For example, at the end of each week I am able to export all of the tasks that were moved into the "Done" column that week. The lack of this feature is currently the only thing holding me back from using Focalboard.

In theory, I can use the "last updated time" for this, but this is risky since I have to be careful to never touch anything after the status has been changed or this date/time is overwritten with no way to recover. I can also make a custom date field, and manual set this each time I change the status, but this is cumbersome and would be unnecessary if this feature were available.

Is there any other way I can replicate this functionality?

I guess this PR is a step towards this: https://github.com/mattermost/focalboard/pull/2569
