In Qlik Sense for Windows May 2022 and later, it is now possible to track changes done to custom properties.

Environments:

Resolution

Changes to custom properties are logged in the SecurityActivity_Repository logs, located in C:\programdata\qlik\sense\log\repository\audit, or in ArchivedLogs\<servername>\repository\audit depending on the date.

This log is also loaded in Operation Monitor and can be seen in the "Log details" sheet.

For example, when performing a change to a custom property unchecking "users" and keeping only "apps" so that it's only applicable to apps, the following will be logged:

We can see here that the user who performed the change is DOMAIN\Administrator.

The following can be tracked:

- Name of the custom property

- Resources types (On which resources can the custom property be applied)

- Values

- The person who performed the change
