user id added to SN makes it not work as requested

We have smart notes for showing before and after changes to dependent records. The fields on the smart note are employee #, relationship, dependent name, ss#, birthdate, and disability flag. Now a request was made to add the user id so they could see who changed the record. I can't get the smart notes to work correctly with the addition of the user id field which is defined as an attribute. It is showing up in the before part of the report because the user id has changed - it does not matter if the change was not to one of the key fields listed above. It could just be a change to the phone number and the dependent will then show up on the before part of the report. Example: New keys in Data from dependent changes emp relationship dependent ss# birthdate disabled userid 12345 son Joe Smith ***-**-6789 01/01/92 N x1233 Items no longer in Data from dependent changes emp relationship dependent ss# birthdate disabled userid 76543 spouse Mary Jones ***-**-5667 11/22/55 N x1111 12345 son Joe Smith ***-**-1111 01/01/92 N c1234 The record for employee 12345 is correct being on the report because the ss# was changed. The record for employee 78543 should not be on the report because the only thing changed for the record was the phone #. It is showing up though because the old userid and new userid are different. Is there a way to have the user id on the report and only have it appear on the report if one of the fields that changed was relationship, dependent name, ss#, birthdate, and disability flag? Thanks.
