Improve logging of object creation

We have hundreds of users who are allowed to create export mappings. This results in a lot of clutter and we discovered there is no way to identify who created the mapping.

I posted this originally here: http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,25164.0.html

Lobo responded that improving this is not currently planned so I am suggesting that logging the creation of objects be improved in future releases.

Any chance DA can provide developer resources (or sponsor a developer) to address this issue since it will help the org a whole lot?

If i had to guess, this is a 10 hour issue including writing docs and unit tests :)

I can write a spec. What other objects need the feature?

Might want to check the schema and screens and see where else this is useful specifically for DA (if they are doing the development)

The couple of other objects i can think of include custom groups, profiles, contribution pages, event registrations. Some of them might already have a created_id/created_date etc

In general there is a bigger problem finding folks to implement specs. There are a fair number of un-implemented specs on the wiki

We are currently upgrading from 1.9 to 4.x and, as usual, have a limited budget and a limited amount of time to do this. We do have a volunteer in Belgium with PHP skills and he might be able to work on this after the upgrade. It is not a task we will be asking our paid resource to do.

Is there a template for the spec somewhere?
