Django store the original value of a field

Question

I am a newbie with Django trying to create a dashboard application reporting on some key milestone dates. I want to be able to track how the key dates are changing. For example:If the kick off date has been changed 5 times I want to be able to report 1. the first date entered, 2. Current date, 3. The date before the last update.

Thank you

Your question is not clear. But for the logic you have asked one thing we can do is to make a model in which the edited dates and user will be fields. Use user as foreign key of your User model. I will just give an example model.

class Dates(models.Model):
    event = models.ForeignKey(Event)
    date = models.DateField()

This is a very basic method which i am saying. This is a bit complex and you will have to check if the field has changed five times and all.

For a better answer please make the question clear.
