I have done my coding but the laravel audit seems not catch the data for update.
The data i try to update is on the column of value, but on the database the value are not be catch on audit table for auditing the update changes .
below is the coding for update the data.
academicsetting.php:
class AcademicSetting extends Model implements Auditable
{
use SoftDeletes, ActiveScope;
use \OwenIt\Auditing\Auditable;
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $dates = ['deleted_at'];
protected $fillable = [
'id',
'type',
'field',
'name',
'value',
'description',
'is_active',
'created_by',
'created_at',
'updated_by',
'updated_at',
'deleted_by',
'deleted_at',
];
protected $casts = [
'value' => 'json',
];
public function transformAudit(array $data): array
{
dump($data);exit();
if ($data['event'] == 'created') {
$data['new_values']['created_by'] = Staff::where('id', $this->getAttribute('created_by'))->value('name');
$data['new_values']['updated_by'] = Staff::where('id', $this->getAttribute('updated_by'))->value('name');
}
if ($data['event'] == 'deleted') {
$data['old_values']['deleted_by'] = Staff::where('id', $this->getOriginal('deleted_by'))->value('name');
$data['new_values']['deleted_by'] = Staff::where('id', $this->getAttribute('deleted_by'))->value('name');
}
if ($data['event'] == 'updated') {
$data['old_values']['updated_by'] = Staff::where('id', $this->getOriginal('updated_by'))->value('name');
$data['new_values']['updated_by'] = Staff::where('id', $this->getAttribute('updated_by'))->value('name');
}
return $data;
}
}
academicgeneralcontroller.php:
public function update(Request $request, $id)
{
/** implode multi dropdown value */
$request['final_attendance_reset_mark'] = $request->input('final_attendance_reset_mark');
/** end */
$this->general->update($request->except('_token', 'academicsetting-table_length', '_method'), $id);
Session::flash('alert-success', msg('msg_success_update'));
return redirect()->route('academic_general.index');
}
generalrepository.php:
class GeneralRepository extends Repository
{
/**
* Specify Model class name
*
* #return mixed
*/
public function model()
{
return AcademicSetting::class;
}
public function update(array $data, $id, $attribute = 'id')
{
// dump($data);exit();
foreach ($data as $key => $value) {
if ($key == 'final_attendance_reset_mark') {
$array = [];
if (!empty($value)) {
foreach ($value as $key_value => $value) {
$array[(int) $key_value] = (int) $value;
}
}
$json = json_encode($array, JSON_FORCE_OBJECT);
// dump($json);
$update_value = [
'value' => $json,
];
} else {
$update_value = ['value' => $value];
}
dump($update_value);exit();
$general = AcademicSetting::where('field', $key)->update($update_value);
}
}
}

Not sure if this will help but,
i see you have the following in the transform method:
$data['new_values']['created_by'] = Staff::where('id', $this->getAttribute('created_by'))->value('name');
in the documentation i see the following:
$data['old_values']['role_name'] = Role::find($this->getOriginal('role_id'))->name;
the above is to record the audit by transforming the role_id to the role_name, enabling you to capture the role_name as well.
