SharePoint List - Tracking Deleted Items
We have a SharePoint list that we use to track items, however I'm having a hard time tracking what gets deleted and tracing it back. When an item is deleted, it goes to the recycling bin, but the...
We have about 15-20 columns of data in the original list and there are a few of those that have a unique identifier that if you could access that in the recycling bin you could see which item was deleted. Alternatively, if you could move the deleted item to a new list or something, then we could see which was deleted.
As a last-ditch effort, we could download the original list, restore the item, and then download the list again and compare.

I have the same issue, but it doesn't look like any solutions were offered? If an item in a list is accidentally deleted, but you don't know when or what, it makes finding it very difficult. I could just restore everything that's been deleted from said list, but there's no way of telling which items have been restored. I appreciate there may be challenges with being able to amend the view in the recycle bin - lots of custom columns for different lists, etc - but even if you could view the item before restoring it, in my situation that would be a big help.
Yeah, no solution was offered that we could find. Even knowing the item ID in the recycling bin (the key) would help.
