[data-export] Add a feature to compare data between 2 records

Open TimFroger opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Use Case: When debugging, it's useful to compare 2 records (working vs non-working). Today, I have to :

  • Export data from 2 records
  • Copy values in Excel
  • Write a formula to compare field values

Expected: It would be nice to have from the "Show All Data" screen the ability to compare current record with another one. Field with differences might be highlighted in red.

HI @TimFroger thanks for this suggestion ! If my understanding is correct, the need is to compare two records from the same org right ?

How about displaying diffs on the export page ? This would looks like this :

Hi @tprouvot

Yes, you're right and the screenshot looks great.

Another useful use case would be comparing record to itself when investigating what gets changed as part of record update. It could be implemented on the Show All Details like a new button that fetches new values and displays it in additional column and highlights changed values. Example: image
