Is there anyway without the aid of a plugin, that I can trigger the mod_time field (Time field with Modification selected in autoenter) in the parent record, when I alter a child record. At present its a stored value, and thats the way I would like to keep it, hence avoiding creating an unstored calculated field which looks at the mod_time in the child record.

Many Thanks

No. And it shouldn't be required, either, especially in v.8.

Thanks Comment,

But why shouldn't it be required?

It shouldn't be required because the information is already stored in the child table (or at least can be, if you define a ModificationTime field there). Duplicating it in the Parent table is redundant.
