How to sync Activity Logs between linked Schemas (Assets → Employees)

Lucas De Souza
March 30, 2026

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a way to surface 'Activity' or 'History' logs on a parent record when a child record's reference is updated.

The Setup:

  • Schema A (Employees): The parent record.

  • Schema B (Asset Management): The child record.

  • The Link: A reference field exists in Assets pointing to Employees (Many-to-One).

The Problem: When I reassign an Asset to a different Employee, the change is logged in the Asset’s Activity History, but nothing appears in the Employee’s Activity History. For auditing purposes, I need these assignment changes to be visible from the Employee's profile.

What I’ve Considered:

  • Reverse Linking: I thought about linking Employees to Assets, but since an employee can have multiple assets (e.g., two laptops), a multi-select reference field feels like it would become a maintenance headache and potentially messy for data integrity.

Question: Is there a way to 'propagate' or 'mirror' these activity logs from the child (Asset) to the parent (Employee) automatically? 

Thanks in advance!

HI @Lucas De Souza 

No there is no such solution for assets, assets history is only displayed on a change made on that specific asset.

Assets also have no parent-child realtion.

Assets schemas are in essence like a database.

They are able to have references to each other (information from another object type can be used in another object).

Hello @Lucas De Souza 

I do not think this is possible natively in Assets Cloud.
The History tab is tied to the individual object itself, so linking an Asset to an Employee object in another schema does not automatically copy or sync that activity history over. 

If you need that kind of tracking, I would look at automation instead, trigger on the object update, call the GET object history API, and then write the result somewhere else.
