Automation Advanced

Question

Hello community, how are you? I have a question. I have a field which takes as its value "Projects" of the instance but only one. They are asking me that every time the value is edited, it takes the previous value and is dumped into another field (like a history but shown in a field... if that's strange) it occurred to me to dump that data into a label type field.
I have two queries, the first is whether dumping the data into a label type field is a good idea.
I have to do the second in automation but in "more options" where code is already used, I understand that the update is used but my use with respect to this is a bit limited. I would like help regarding this.

The field brings all the jira projects, that is, their names. After that they require to see the information. But I think that the accountant thing I mentioned before will be enough for them.

You indicated that your custom field is a selection list. What type of values are available in that list?

Do the values include blank spaces? If so, you can't add them to a Labels type of field because Labels values can't include blank spaces.

If you retain all the values that had been selected for that field into one field, what will be done with that data? Will people just review it visually? Do they expect to be able to search based on it? Do they expect to be able to generate metrics based on it?

Any reporting and visualization needs must be considered when deciding how to retain the data.

The idea is basically to record not only the times said field is edited but also the content they choose in it. The issue of counting the number of times it was edited is resolved, but the content that is changed is not. I hope to express myself well.
