Workflow condition: compare new value to old?
The manual says it's possible to use Before Record Submit but not After Record Submit.
When building conditions, you can reference old (pre-edit) values of the record. This allows you to trigger workflows, actions, or conditions based on whether a field changed, or even what it changed from or to. Be aware that referencing pre-edit values may slow workflow performance somewhat since the workflow must load the old record from the database. Also note that getting old record values will only work on before submit.
How would I do this? Specifically, I just need to know the new value is different than the old. The way the last sentence is phrased doesn't exclude the possibility of using After Submit to simply recognize a change has been made.
