If we enable history tracking for whoId(Name) and WhatId(Related to) in history object we see two entries for below mentioned scenario:

 

Original value

WhoId :  Victim Contact04042023 

 

New Value

WhoId:  Stella  Pavlova   

 

History tracking showing as below

Activity Record history for whoId and WhatId works weirdI have no active trigger or flows or any other automation on task object. Not sure why this is happening for these two fields. for other field such as "assigned To" its directly shows as below which is i think is easy to understand from user stands point. I did not see any specific documentation for WhoId and WhatId history tracking. Any help would be highly appreciated.

    Just spit-balling, but since Actvitity:Name (WhoId) is a polymorphic field the Activity could have been originally connected to a Lead and that Lead could have been merged with another Lead, or converted to an existing Contact or a new Contact
