Question

History/Audit trail changes if referenced items are deleted

Following situation:

Tracker A has a field that references items from tracker B.

An item of tracker A (A*) is created. The field is set to point to several items of tracker B (B*1, B*2, B*3)

The History of item A* now shows that the reference field changed value from nothing to (B*1, B*2, B*3).

Now delete item B*2

Now the History of item A* now shows that the reference field changed value from nothing to (B*1, B*3). (The same version as before)

Expectation: We need the reference for the above scenario

Hi @VS_10892000 
By deleting B*2, you are, in essence, making it as if it never existed, so the history is correct. If you want to keep the reference to B*2, you should close the tracker rather than delete it. Deleting removes the tracker and all references from the database and should not be used when the history of the item needs to be maintained.
