Especially for tag writes, it’s important to know what the previous value was when looking in the audit log. Currently, this isn’t possible to see without some fancy SQL.

Please add a new field to the table “PreviousValue” or similar and write the previous values into this.

Yet another customer URS requiring this...

"The solution must have fully built-in operation, configuration audit trail capability with the following information as a minimum:  
• Time and date of the change  
• The name of the user making the change  
**• The original and changed configuration**  
• The outcome of the change

e.g. Audit trail of system administrator changing an aspect of the SCADA system and deploying the change."
