Blank Audit records and empty ChangedData rows
This blog post sheds light on the issue of blank entries in Dynamics CRM audit and how to decipher the audit data for reporting purposes. Even though blank audit records appear confusing to users, they happen when audit is enabled at the Org and entity level, but disabled at the attribute level, and the attribute is changed in a transaction, resulting in a blank row with empty ChangedData and AttributeMask columns. The post includes a screenshot illustrating this behavior and a link to delve deeper into how the delimited values are stored in auditbase table. The author also points out a common client project and community inquiry on how to query the audit data and build a PowerBI report from it. Ultimately, the author encourages exploring the internal mechanics of Dynamics CRM audit, calling it an interesting endeavor.
