Title: Locking/unlocking sets element modification date
Post by: Jens Nötzold on August 07, 2024, 08:19:19 pm

From an authors or readers perspective the modification date is vital to track element modifications vs. time.
From an authors or readers perspective applying/releasing locks doesn't change elements, so why is the modification date set to now?

What a mess if you do it recursively on your model!

So my question is: Is this a bug, a weird feature or might it be turned off?

(I'm currently using EA 16.1)

I just did a test, and apply/release user lock doesn't set the modification date for me. (on version 16.1)
I don't know if there is some setting somewhere that controls this behavior.

I reinvestigated the issue as you stated with user locks.

I found that my issue persists only with full locks.

Still: Is this a bug, a weird feature or might it be turned off?

I would definitely consider that a bug yes. Whether or not Sparx support agrees, that's another matter.
