Overview
The previous value of an attribute or metric can be referenced in business rule expressions when the edit of that attribute, metric, or association triggers the rule.
I.e. the .previousValue reference only returns a previous value for the attribute, metric, or association used as an On Edit trigger for the business rule. If it is used with an attribute, metric, or association that is not included in the On Edit trigger, it will return the current value of the attribute, metric, or association.
