Lets say you are storing configuration information relating to a customers
solution, you need the ability to track who has made what changes to the
config information stored in the log book so you can backtrack who changed
what and when, for example
If you have a field name called Last Edited by this field is locked and not
editable using the Lock attributes flag, but if you had Subt on edit
everytime that entry is updated it places your login name into this field and
therefore stamps it to say you have edited it, as the field isnt free txt it
cant be spoofed as the $long_name comes from your login details.
