SharePoint List: Create column that saves activities for an item
I'm working in the SharePoint List app. I'd like to create a column in the list that shows a history of activities within the item, similar to a version history.
However, when adding a column, I don't see an option that lends itself to this functionality.
Is there a way to allow a user to edit an item in a SharePoint List that keeps track of the time, date, and user who created the activity?

Hi Fossbender11,
you could create a "multiple lines of text" column and set the "Append changes to existing text" switch to true
Now you can enter a comment to the history field
And if you edit the item again you will see that comment and who commented it when
Now you got a history of that textfield....If you configure that field to be required, then a user must enter a comment for each item update. That comment, the username and the date will be saved.
Best Regards,
Sven
