How to trigger automation on any field update?

I’m trying to set up a “When Entity is Updated” automation but facing a limitation with field selection. Here’s what I’m trying to achieve:

Current behavior:

  • The automation setup requires manually selecting specific fields to trigger the automation
  • Each field needs to be individually checked in the configuration

Desired behavior:

  • A single option to trigger the automation when ANY field is updated
  • No need to manually select each field

Questions:

  1. Is there currently a way to achieve this “trigger on any field update” behavior?
  2. If not, are there any workarounds available?

I’ve checked the documentation but couldn’t find any mention of this functionality. Any guidance would be appreciated!

Stumbled into this as well. Wanting to create something similar to Fibery’s public roadmap. Including a sync for any changes that happen in the “Backend” to go to public. Selecting all the fields as triggers is not the end of the world, but i realize now that multi-relations and multi-selects can’t even act as triggers. This means that PER multi select, I’d need to add another automation.

I see that the “created date” is an option for a trigger for change (for some reason?) any chance to add “Modification date” as a trigger for a change. Then it will essentially be “trigger automation on any field”.

Unlikely, since a lot of automations make changes to the triggering entity, which will cause the modification date to change, which will (re-)trigger the automation, and so on.

I see. Unfortunate. That would just trigger a loop-detection and disable, no? How about adding multi-relations into the updating trigger?

An easier workaround I just thought of would be to make formula fields that just join the multi-relations and have those trigger. I’ll do that for the time being!
