      Problem Definition

      The Object Updated Trigger isn't specific enough.
      Some Rules only need to run when specific Attributes are updated.

      Suggested Solution

      Allow for selecting which Attributes to watch for updates in the Object Updated Trigger.
      Alternatively, make the Object History/Activity available via Smart Values.
      Then Conditions could be used to achieve the same effect.

      Workaround

      Currently, a known workaround is to use a Send Web Request Action to get the Object History via the Assets REST API, then check to see if the most recent entry is for the appropriate attribute(s).

      This consumes Automation Executions every time though, so be mindful of this.

      Also, be mindful that this workaround isn't full-proof. Due to timing issues between Assets & Automation, if an Object receives a series of quick updates, the Automation can "miss" the correct entry in the History, causing it to not run as expected.
