In the history (in pic below) of my custom object which has a reference to another custom object how can i access old and new values for the field which references another object.

Event__c is a reference to another custom object(has a master detail relationship) , but there are no new/old values in the history table- the value in New Value is just a reference to the parent ID.(Category__c is a drop down - cant see the values for this too).

How do i retrieve the values of OldValue and NewValue for this?

  • I've tested this using a custom object in my org, and I cannot replicate the problem. When I change the value of a relationship field, the name of the new and old values are recorded correctly. What are you doing to the Events__c field? – fred Nov 11 '15 at 16:01
  • if this (Event__c) is a master-detail that doesn't allow reparenting, then there will never be an oldvalue for the relationship field as you can only create the relationship, never update it – cropredy Nov 11 '15 at 17:50
  • Based on the sceenshot looks like the old value for Category__c was empty (or null). But would you mind answering what is the field type and size of this field? – Jeferson Chaves Mar 7 at 20:30

You can fire a query on history object. If is test__c object then name will be testHistory.
