[rt-users] How to detect a custom field change in a scrip

[Kenneth Crocker]

Lobo,

Do you REALLY care what the old value was? We use Custom Fields as triggers
on a lot of scrips, but we really don't care what it used to be. We only
care that it has changed and what it has changed to. It makes the code
easier to write and debug.
