"Modification Date" does not track changes to Rich Text fields

[Matt_Blais]

The built-in “Modification Date” field does not appear to track changes to Rich Text fields in the entity.

Is this intentional? Because it seems counter-intuitive.

Example: I want to sort a list of entities by Modification Date descending so I can review the entities by most-recently-modified – and I am hard-pressed to imagine a case where I would not want this to include changes made to Rich Text fields like Description.

A workaround I’ve done is an automation rule that updates some date field when the rich text field is modified. Then you can sort by that date field.

This would look like this:
