This is not available on a Change Trigger for a normal attribute, but it is available inside containers using EventArgs.ChangedCell.OldValue

I see you already found a solution with global variable, but you could likely come up with a workaround involving containers. Either allow the user to control the attribute directly in the container, or copy the value into the container in order to trigger your logic (something that would be required in Quote 2.0 since it doesn't support global variables).

Hi,

If I understand correctly, you are trying to implement product rules using IronPython scripts attached to Attribute Change Trigger. Please try using a hidden dummy attribute to save the selected value of the attribute which the rules will apply to. Every time when the user changes the attribute value, the script can first get the previous selected value from the dummy attribute, execute the rule logic, and update the dummy attribute value with the latest selected value.

Hi fancy.zou ,

That's what i did , eventually using some global variable instead of creating new dummy attribute .

Ideally i was expecting some Out of box event object with Previous and NewValue of attribute

Thanks for Info
