Health Cloud: Care Request History object not available as a reportable object or for custom report types

Publish Date: May 27, 2026
Description

This article explains why the Care Request History object is missing from the Custom Report Type builder in Salesforce Health Cloud and why object-level reporting and tracking checkboxes are not editable on Care Request. Customers describe this as: "I can see Account & Account History, Case & Case History as separate objects in reports but I am only getting Care Request object in the report, not the Care Request History" and "Enable Reports, Track Activities and Track Field History is not enabled in my org for Care Request and I need help enabling these." Care Request [CareRequest] is a standard object delivered through the HealthCloudGA managed package and is used by Utilization Management. Because the object is owned by the managed package, the Enable Reports, Track Activities, and Track Field History checkboxes on the object definition are not toggleable by org administrators. Field History Tracking can be enabled at the field level on Care Request, but the corresponding CareRequestHistory object is not exposed in metadata and therefore does not appear in Setup > Report Types or as a child relationship in the Custom Report Type builder. The same platform-level limitation applies to other Health Cloud and Life Sciences Cloud managed-package objects such as Care Request Item [CareRequestItem], Medication Request [MedicationRequest], Care Observation, Care Benefit Verify Request [CareBenefitVerifyRequest], and Visit Log. This affects all editions of Health Cloud and Life Sciences Cloud.

Resolution

Use the following workarounds to meet reporting and audit requirements on Care Request when the history object is not exposed.

Cause 1: Care Request History object is not exposed for reporting
1. Confirm the limitation. Navigate to Setup > Object Manager > Care Request [CareRequest] > Fields & Relationships and verify that field-level history tracking is already enabled on the fields you need.
2. Navigate to Setup > Report Types and click New Custom Report Type.
3. In the Primary Object picklist, search for "Care Request History". The object will not appear — this is expected because CareRequestHistory is not exposed as a reportable entity by the HealthCloudGA managed package.
4. As a workaround, build a Case-based report. Click New Custom Report Type, select Case [Case] as the Primary Object, then add Care Request [CareRequest] and any Care Request extension objects as related (secondary) objects. Save and deploy the report type.
5. For long-term audit retention, enable Field Audit Trail on the tracked Care Request fields and query history through the Tooling/REST API where the CareRequestHistory rows are accessible programmatically, even though they are not exposed in the report builder.
6. To request platform exposure of CareRequestHistory as a reportable object, submit an idea on the Salesforce IdeaExchange and have affected users vote on it. The Health Cloud Product team tracks these requests for future releases.

Cause 2: Enable Reports, Track Activities, and Track Field History checkboxes are greyed out on Care Request
1. Navigate to Setup > Object Manager > Care Request [CareRequest] > Details.
2. Observe that the Enable Reports, Track Activities, and Track Field History checkboxes cannot be edited. This is expected: the object is delivered by the HealthCloudGA managed package, and these object-level toggles are controlled by the package, not the subscriber org.
3. Do not open a support case to request that these checkboxes be enabled — Salesforce Support cannot toggle managed-package object settings at the platform level. Use the Case-based custom report type from Cause 1 step 4 to satisfy reporting requirements.
4. For activity tracking on related records, enable Activities on a parent or related custom object that you do control, and relate Care Request records to it through a lookup.

Confirm the issue is resolved by opening Setup > Report Types, creating the Case-primary custom report type that includes Care Request as a related object, then building a report from it and verifying that Care Request field values and related Case data appear as expected.
