Thanks, but - as near as I can tell, ObjectCustomFieldValues has references from type RT::Ticket only. IE, everything in it refers to a ticket change, not a global custom field change.

<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><PRE wrap="">Scott, look in the ObjectCustomFieldValues table. There are pointers into it from the OldReference and NewReference
fields in the Transactions table. I'm using 3.6.3, but I'm guessing that the same will be true in 3.8.4.

<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><PRE wrap="">We accidentally changed some values in a Custom Field, and they need to
be set back. I can retrieve the values from our backup, but, the
question came up of if RT keeps the history for them. Poking thru the
database, I see it keeps the history for tickets (table Transactions),
and that it keeps most of the data for Custom Fields in the table
CustomFieldValues. It keeps Creator, Creation Date, Last Updated By
and Last Update Date. But, so far, I haven't found anywhere it keeps
what was changed. IE, category old value, new value, like you find
in the Transactions table.
This would seem to be very useful information to have - especially in
the case of a system audit.
Am I just missing something?
This in on RT 3.8.4, btw.
