Julkaisupäivä: Apr 3, 2026
Kuvaus


This information pertains to the standard Field History Tracking feature and not the Field Audit Trail  add-on feature.

Field Audit Trail feature includes provisioning for its required storage and does not count against an organization's data storage usage limits. With Field Audit Trail, you can track up to 60 fields per object.

Field History Tracking also does not count against your organization's paid data storage limits and you can track only 20 fields per object.

Admins may query StandardObjectNameHistory and Custom object history to retrieve corresponding field history data using the Data Loader. See Export field history data with Data Loader for more details.

Data Retention and Storage Limits:


The following covers key behaviors and limits to be aware of when using Field History Tracking and Field Audit Trail in Salesforce, including data retention timelines, field tracking limits, and how to export historical data beyond the retention window.

 

Note: The Retention Limit for Field History Data Is Now Enforced and field history data is only guaranteed to be retained for 18 months if your org was created after June 1, 2011.

It's possible to use a queryAll() API call or Data Loader's "Export All" option to potentially return history rows beyond the last 18 months however, the dataset is not guaranteed to be complete and is subject to deletion at any time.

Note: The default limit is 20 fields per object. With the Field Audit Trail add-on, customers can increase the number of tracked fields to 60.
