Task Changes and field locking

[Tom Burns]

Is there any known way to fire an event when a field value is changed on a
view, and then reference the value that was changed against the original
value?

Also, is there anyway to lock a particular field?

If there is an answer to the first part, I suppose the second part could be
worked out off of that information.

Thanks

THe change event will allow you to cancel the change which will preserve the
original value, but I haven't worked with it enough to know if there is a
way to get the value that they were attempting to change it to.

Yes, this can be used as a sort of rudimentary write-lock for a field.

Thanks for your answer. I have been working with the change, and have
figured out how to cancel the update, but I would also like to evaluate the
change if possible. I am assuming there is some place the old, original
values are, because I can close Project and cancel the save, and the old
values come back.

If you have any hints like the first one, I'd appreciate it. Otherwise I'll
just keep plugging away at it.
