 Dear vtiger Team,

 Is there any method to exclude / include (or disable / enable ) fields
 from the ModTracker module in a CustomModule without hacking the core
 files of ModTracker?

 In the core files of ModTracker
 ...\modules\ModTracker\ModTrackerHandler.php
 there is a loop to handle all tracking fields of all tracking enabled
 modules started about line 33.

                     foreach($delta as $fieldName => $values) {
                         if($fieldName != 'modifiedtime') {


                         }
                     }

 It is easy to modify with extending the if conditions with the name of
 fields that we would like to exclude from the tracking. But it is the core
 hacking not recommended for the extension store.

 Is there any other method not hacking the core files?

 It would be very useful feature.

 E.g. in our CustomModule there are 14 fields and only 4 of them to track.
 All others are considered as system fields (similarly to the
 'modifiedtime' field) and isn't necessary to track.
