Log Status changes triggered by a parent status trigger
Status Triggers are a powerful and underutilized feature in SmartSimple Cloud because they automatically keep parent and child records in sync without requiring workflow configuration. For example, when a Payment record is marked as Paid, related Disbursement records can automatically be updated to Paid as well.
One limitation is that status changes made through a Status Trigger are not currently logged or audited on the child record. This can create confusion for administrators and users who are reviewing record history, as it is not clear:
Why the status changed
Who or what initiated the change
Which parent record triggered the update
Suggested Enhancement
When a Status Trigger updates a child record, automatically create a history/audit entry on the child record status noting the cource of the update as per screenshot below. I believe this is where an autoloader or API field change is also logged.
