That's right. Sorry, hadn't realized you were working with a list form. Maybe have a field that is multiline (so that you can have unlimited chars) and just concat in the info each time the target changes? Another sample attached.

Hi Hilary, Me again - your provided solution won't work in a list will it? It would have to be a form library in order to use a repeating table? My existing form is in a list. C

Well - yes, but it is tricky. You can easily use code or qRules for this. You can also use a default data approach - add your repeating group for your user list (probably user name & date time). In the form's defaults, add as many instances of this group as you think you are likely to need - estimate high. Then you can use a helper field in your repeating group to set values. See attached sample.

Hi, I have been asked to do this: On a form that I have created users can select a drop down to set an approval status. The admin of the form requires that everytime the drop down is changed, it stores the user of the user who changed the field, in a seperate field elsewhere. What it must do is store a list of these different users in a field. Much like the version history, but within the form itself. Is this possible? Regards, C
