When we add/remove tags "recent-changes" page shows change history like "tag X added". But when user edit data form- change history shows nothing. Watchers must open page (slow), go to page history (slow) choose revisions, compare 2 "hard-to-read data form text". It will be nice if wikidot will add same "what changed" text for data forms as it does for Tags. Fro example, DataForm has fileds
Name
Number
when user edited "Name" and added "number" system:recent-changes might show "page album:kiss changed: name=ABC, number=123"
I think it will not be hard to implement but it will save a lot of time, traffic and effort for everybody who uses dataforms
same wish appears here

P.S. Alternatively we should be able to have field "Short description of changes: " in dataforms as we have it in ordinary wiki pages.
The problem here is the number of fields that you could edit at once. How does Wikidot decide which content changes to mention in the changelog, and which content changes to ignore?

I'm always puzzled when people put this into their wishes. How can you possibly know how hard it will be to implement?
(edit: sorry, I've had a day of people telling me how easy it will be to implement things they want on Sharepoint so I'm in grumpy old man mode.)

I like the PS option. Observing page changes through the History for data forms can be a little cryptic at times, so being able to provide a summary helps. I've circumvented this by making an extra field on the bottom which must be replaced every time. It works (unless the editor fails to use it, in which case it will contain the previous description), but it (of course) does not appear in the recent changes like it would for normal wiki pages.
