As you're probably aware at present you can select certain standard and custom fields to track on the History related list of cases, solutions, leads, contracts, and custom objects.

So any time a user modifies any of the standard or custom fields whose history is set to be tracked, a new entry is added to the History related list. All entries include the date, time, nature of the change, and who made the change.

This is cool. However, it's time this functionality was available on all fields on all standard objects too. Knowing how often an address field on an Account is updated is just as useful as knowing when a Lead field is modified.

I would like to see the "Last Modfied" function changed or modified to include more history like each modification to a record and the user and date/time that modification was made.

Currently, only seeing the last modified information may not help a user resolve any questions concerning a record modification.

It would be great, and easy, to include the Forecast Category in the Opportunity History. Yes, I understand that it would only reflect what is in the Opportunity and not in the Forecast Object (i.e., no overrides will be reflected). It would be an improvement.

History tracking on activities would be useful - specifically surrounding due dates, at the moment users can change these and there is no record of this.

Did I miss something or is this not avaialble?

If I missed it ...phew, thank goodness its there. If not, and we don't have it -

What are we waiting for?

In the Account and Contact History tables, there are columns for: Changed Field, New Value, and Old Value. These are very useful to us in the reports that we use. Unfortunately, the Opportunity History table is not structured the same way and reporting is more difficult for us. For Opportunities, we would like those same columns to be available.

Would be great to be able to have ability to add more fields to Opportunity History (some which would be custom fields) to track process flows as we have defined.
