About This Feature

Overview

Last Modified Time is a system field type in WPS Office for iOS smart spreadsheet data tables. It automatically records the latest time when each record was edited, down to the second, which is useful for change tracking, collaboration checks, and audit-style record keeping.

Core capabilities include:

Create a Last Modified Time field: add the field from the field type list and name it.
Auto-fill the latest edit time: the system updates the field value automatically.
Review records by update time: use the time value to identify newer and older updates.

Capability Summary	In iOS smart spreadsheet data tables, WPS can add a Last Modified Time field that is auto-filled by the system to record the latest edit time for each record.	Microsoft Lists can show the built-in Modified column for the latest item update date, but the native iOS Lists app has been retired and mobile access is mainly through the web.	Google Sheets officially documents file-level Last edit and version history, with emphasis on file or version tracking rather than a native row-level auto-updated field.	Notion databases provide a Last edited time property that records the latest edit timestamp for an item, updates automatically, and cannot be edited manually.	Adobe Acrobat for iOS focuses on PDF forms and signing workflows, and its mobile documentation does not describe a native spreadsheet-style row-level last-modified field.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: It works directly as a table field, which fits record-level update tracking inside the same table structure.	Compared with WPS: the built-in Modified column can show the latest modified date, but the mobile experience is web-based and differs from a smart table field workflow.	Compared with WPS: official guidance focuses on file-level change history and version history instead of a record-level auto-generated last modified field inside a table.	Compared with WPS: it also offers an auto-updated timestamp property, but it is positioned as a database property workflow rather than a smart spreadsheet table field.	Compared with WPS: it is centered on PDF documents and forms rather than structured table fields.

Overall Conclusion

WPS Last Modified Time on iOS is well suited to mobile record management in smart spreadsheet data tables because it keeps the latest edit time inside the table structure itself. Other products provide related capabilities for list metadata, file history, database properties, or PDF forms, but their workflows and product focus are different.
