Problem

The Audit Log settings interface allows time periods beyond its retention maximum of 12 months. Although an error message is triggered when invalid combinations are chosen, users can still make these selections.

Suggested Solution

Modify the Audit Log settings to restrict the selection of time periods that exceed the retention limit. Additionally, consider extending the audit log retention capabilities to support more diverse history retention combinations.

Why This Is Important

Preventing invalid combinations enhances user experience by minimizing potential errors. Offering more flexibility in the audit log retention options can cater to users needing longer retention periods.

Workaround

The existing workaround is self-regulation. Users must ensure not to select a time period exceeding the retention maximum. The system will cue them with an error message for invalid selections.
