Keep record modification date

[pfry]

Hello,

Is it possible to keep the user modification date for the record ?

For example when Mirrorsync insert a record, the modification date is the sync date not the real user modification date.

Thanks

I believe so you can have a field set to modify date -  just don't put it on the sync layout. It should remain static for the user.

Hi Ocean thanks for you answer.

If the field is not on the sync layout, it will not be pushed to the server ?

I am working on a multi-user database, and am looking for modification date and modification user.

Any idea ?

you may have to script edits and set a static field.

Thanks for you reply.

Sorry but I don’t know how I can do that.

If I create a script triggered from the timestamp modification to input a static field, it will create a loop ?

 

Do you have any suggestion ?

I also try to add a "static" field with auto enter field based on : If ($$Sync = "On", Sefl, modification date)

 But I failed to success.

This is impossible to do using a standard auto-entered modification timestamp, because every time you try to set the modification timestamp, that will cause it to change.

It is possible to do this with calculation fields and some flag field to temporarily turn off the modification, as you're describing here, but we don't officially support it with MirrorSync. It might be possible, it might not.
