Don't change entries' "Modified by" when moving folders
Don't change entries' "Modified by" when moving folders

Hi!
We moved some folders to change the top-level structure of all our entries, and I notices the "Modified by" field of all entries has changed to my admin account with the current date.
It is sometimes useful to look up the last modified info on an entry, to investigate. This info is now lost on all entries, due to high level changes in the folder structure.
I believe moving a high-level folder (or even moving an entry) should not update the "Modified by" info on all entries.
Thanks!
Best regards,
Daniel

Hello Daniel,
Currently, due to the way folders are implemented, changing a folder implies changing the entries contained within it. This is because the entries themselves contain the reference to the folder, and the folder does not contain the references to the entries inside of it. This is why the "modified by" is updated in your scenario.
We won't have a solution for this in the short term due to the amount of changes it would require on our end and the impact on the application and our other products (DVLS, Hub, for example), but this is something we want to eventually do.
