We found a workaround to this…

2 new fields:-

- ‘field’

- ‘field history’

On form submission ‘field’ is updated

Workflow triggered on changes to ‘field’, ie. When ‘field’ is Known

Trigger webhook to append ‘field’ to ‘field history’ prepended with a comma

So that ‘field history’ lists all changes to ‘field’ separated by a comma
