Hello,  
It's me again. I have a interesting use case for ES Query rule but was wondering if its even possible.

I was asked to create an alert and be able to show the a field like `{{_source.status}}`. This is possible.

Now the hard part, is if I can show the old/previous value in conjunction with the new value of `{{_source.status}}`.

Perhaps this possible with ES|QL?

Thanks,  
Erik
