Hello !!! I want to know if there is a possibility to get the previous value when updating some content. Let’s say in beforeUpdate or afterUpdate… What I need is to compare previous and new values, and execute some code only if there are changes in some specific fields.
Thank you!

Here you go:
async beforeUpdate(data, model) {
let { id } = data;
let existing = await strapi.query('articles').findOne({ id });
if (existing && existing.name != model.name) {
//do something when value changed
}
},

I wanted to check if a field changed and then call appropriate api.
This worked.
Thank you.

Hello!!
How to use the existing data from beforeUpdate lifecycle hook in afterUpdate lifecycle hook. Basically I’m creating a new table and will store what was the change that was made, and who made that change?
Edit: I’m using strapi v3
