FAQ

Can I use Last Modified Time together with Created Time?

  1. Yes. You can keep both a Created Time field and a Last Modified Time Field in the same multi-dimensional table.
  2. Created Time records when a record was first created.
  3. Last Modified Time records the most recent time when that record was edited.
  4. Using both fields together helps you review the full change timeline of a record.

Will the time update when I edit a field that is not selected?

  1. If the update scope is set to Selected Fields, editing an unselected field does not update the time.
  2. The time updates only when a field included in the update scope changes.
  3. If you want every edit to update the time, change the scope to All Fields.

Why can’t I edit the Last Modified Time manually?

  1. The Last Modified Time Field is a system-managed field.
  2. Its purpose is to reflect the latest change time of a record objectively.
  3. Because of that, the time value is generally not entered or overwritten manually.
