Re: last changed by User

I wanted to display the user that last changed a model instance.

Despite this, I've found a couple of pages, with this being the most like what I want:

https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/CookBookNewformsAdminAndUser

I like this solution - simple and clean, easy to implement.

My only reservation is that I was under the impression that this information was already being kept and that putting a 

user = ForeignKey("User")

in each model that I want to track is doubling up on the data I'm keeping?

To clarify - I can see the last ten actions I've taken when I'm logged into the admin interface - is this info permanent and easy to access and display on the model DetailView?

cheers
