Universal Containers (UC) management has identified a total of ten text fields on the Contact...

To capture and report on any changes made to ten text fields on the Contact object for the past 3 months, the data architect should write an Apex trigger on Contact after insert and after update events and store the old values in another custom object, or turn on field Contact object history tracking for these ten fields and create reports on contact history. An Apex trigger can capture the old and new values of the fields, as well as the user and time of the change, and store them in a custom object that can be used for reporting. Field history tracking can also track the changes to the fields and store them in a history table that can be used for reporting. However, field history tracking only retains data for up to 18 months or 24 months with an extension, so it may not be suitable for longer-term reporting needs. The other options are not feasible or effective for capturing and reporting on field data changes.
