For our task database, individuals and departments have views to track their tasks. This includes showing tasks that are not “Done” (state field), or the modification date is on or later than one week ago. However, I recently needed to add a field to the database (checkbox field) which then updated every task’s modification date. This meant that people’s views were flooded with past done tasks.
I’ve currently resolved this by creating a helper date field autopopulated when a task is marked as done, but I find it a bit concerning for these “database-configuring” actions to be reflected in entities and their modification dates. It seems to reduce their relevance and usefulness for the entities themselves. Perhaps seeing field deletion might help in case we need to check the value of that field
Is it possible to have fields being added not appear in entity activity, and thus not update the modification date?
