Im trying to tracking save revisions for toolset custom fields. How is this possible. Can you advise please?

Hello, WordPress stopped supporting revisions for custom fields a few years ago, so it's not something that is automatically available. You would have to create a custom solution to support revisions for custom fields.

There is a good description of what's required here: https://johnblackbourn.com/post-meta-revisions-wordpress/

If you know a little PHP it should be possible to implement something like this for your site.

If you don't then you would need to contact a developer to do it for you (we maintain a list of Toolset contractors that you can find in the sidebar, though this is not a Toolset issue as such).

Also, there is a plugin which aims to provide this functionality, though I don't believe it ever got accepted into core: https://github.com/adamsilverstein/wp-post-meta-revisions

I can't vouch for its effectiveness. Note that Types custom field slugs use a wpcf- prefix in the database. So if your field slug in wp-admin is "field-slug", the postmeta key will be "wpcf-field-slug" in the database.
