Switching the order of "from" and "to" in descriptions of changes
-
It is very helpful that AppColl provides all the details when the values of fields change. Changes are sometimes described in task comments and always in the History window pane. AppColl usually shows the change described as as a field changed "from 'X' to 'Y'".
When the value is a long string, sometimes the description is too long for the display and gets truncated. When that happens, I can't see all of the value that the field was changed to.
Usually I am more interested to know what the value was changed TO than to know what the value was changed FROM. Therefore, I would be more likely to get the information I want without it being truncated if changes were described as "to 'Y' from 'X'" instead of "from 'X' to 'Y'".

@jonah-soundhound-com I agree, although what I'd really prefer is for the truncation to be eliminated.

I know exactly what you are referring to! I think this all the time as well. Especially when I'm back tracking, I know what I'm looking for (TO), but don't know what the feild started FROM.
