Last modified date is not updated when we modify any relationship in an asset

Hello,

We are using Collibra version 5.7.11. We are trying to leverage the ootb field "Last Modified " to find the last modified date and time for one of a solution. We observed that last modified field is not updated for an asset when any relationship is added/updated/removed on that asset. We observed this behavior for the assets of type Business Term (didn’t check for other asset types).

Please let me know how to overcome this or any workarounds etc…

Much appreciated. Thanks.
-Praveen.

Hi Praveen,

The only option you have is to leverage activity Api to tap into the history of that specific Business Asset or the whole domain and find out the changes related to relationships.

In fact, this is the only way as of today and you might want to consider the similar approach to identify the last modified date for the scenario when responsibility is assigned to the business asset as that also doesn’t capture directly at asset level.

Hi @praveen.ramkumar.capgemini.com ,

We have a corresponding idea on Ideation:
Make Last Modified field update when a (complex) Relation is Added / Removed

Please vote or leave a comment to show your support, and to subscribe to the idea for updates.

That said, this is the case for all assets, not just Business Terms. I know of no easy way in the GUI to see a ‘last modified date’ for the relation on an asset. However, the addition is registered in the history. So maybe it is possible to build a workflow that through the API gets that information, and then writes it as a date* attribute on those asset(s)? A long workaround, I admit, and not sure if it would be possible. @arthur.burkhardt @noor.shaik ?

Date*: If you need DateTime, you will need to use 2 attributes: Date + a plain text field for the time.

@praveen.ramkumar.capgemini.com Yes, activities and relations are two ways to detect changes related to the assets.
It all comes down to the use case though…
