# Changelog information in email templates

<mark style="color:green;">SINCE 7.0.24</mark>

Email templates can refer to the complete change log in an event notification. The variable is `$!changeItems.` `$!changeItems` is a collection of Change Item objects with the attributes below:

| Attribute   | Explanation                                                                                                                  |
| ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `field`     | Name of the field that was changed                                                                                           |
| `oldstring` | String representation of the old value of the field or a comma-separated list of removed items in case of multi-value fields |
| `newstring` | String representation of the new value of the field or a comma-separated list of removed items in case of multi-value fields |

Example template code to loop through the change items:

```
#foreach($changeItem in $!changeItems)
Field name: $!changeItem.getString("field")
Old value: $!changeItem.getString("oldstring")
New value: $!changeItem.getString("newstring")
#end
```

&#x20;The same construct is used by the `renderChanges` macro.
