Common questions about WPS Last Modified Time Field usually focus on field pairing, trigger conditions, and display behavior; this FAQ includes 3 common questions and a glossary.
FAQ
Can I use Last Modified Time together with Created Time?
- Yes. You can add both fields to the same table.
- Created Time records when the record was first created.
- Last Modified Time records the most recent edit time.
- Using both fields together helps you review the full record lifecycle.
If I use selected fields as the trigger, will edits to other fields update the time?
- No. When Update Scope is set to
Selected Fields, only the selected fields can trigger a time update. - Changes to unselected fields do not update the Last Modified Time value.
- If you want every change to update the time, switch the setting to
All Fields.
Why can I change the display format but not edit the time manually?
- Last Modified Time is recorded automatically by the system.
- You can change how the time is displayed, but you cannot type over the recorded value directly.
- If you need a manually entered date, create a regular date field instead.
