The `updatedAt` timestamp does not change for translatable entities when their translations are updated

[skid]

The updatedAt column of translatable entities (e.g. Product) does not change when their translations are updated - only the translation's updatedAt column does. The intuitive expectation would be: When I change a product's name, its updatedAt timestamp should change too.

Hi @michaelbromley,

I want to sync product data to another system and it would make it easier if i could check if the products is updated since the last sync.

Do you have any idea about how to solve this issue or ay idea about how to make a workaround for this issue? If you have a if you have a rough idea of how to solve it, maybe we can help.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I think a solution would involve modifying the TranslatableSaver.update() method so that it manually sets the updatedAt field on the translation's parent entity and persists that to the DB.

A work-around that you could use for now though would be to define a custom field on the product which stores the last update time, and use the EventBus to subscribe to changes with the ProductEvent and use that to update your custom field.
