Keyword for content last updated

(Chrishan) #1

Matrix Version - 5.5.2.0

%asset_updated% keyword, will show the updated date even if someone change metadata or change the paint layout.

Is there a specific keyword to show the last updated date only for the content?

I tried to use %asset_published% keyword but some content editors in the organisation update published content without changing the status.

I am looking for a specific keyword to show the last updated date just only for the content.

You could try %frontend_asset_updated%, this should disregard date updated for any changes made to paint layout. However it won’t work for metadata IF the metadata value is update to the current asset/content.

No such keyword exists, the data you are after is not stored anywhere.

Using %asset_published% and making sure that all changes go through Safe Edit is the best option.

Would be good to have a keyword like that actually, as this has come up a few times now.
Using published date and going through safe edit is a good idea.
Alternatively you could have a metadata date field that updates automatically by a trigger everytime content or metadata is updated on an asset.
