<p>You are seeing the expected behavior. That is, metadata such as
created on, last modified, and last published are specific to when
the folder asset was created, modified, and published not its child
assets.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I have missed several pages based on this wrong information from
cascade CMS.</p>

<p>Can you explain your use case/workflow a bit more so I can get a
better picture of why you missed several pages?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p></div>Ryan Griffithtag:help-archives.hannonhill.com,2010-02-09:Comment/384115222015-11-10T05:14:04Z2015-11-10T05:14:04ZFolder last date modified<div><p>Hi Ryan,</p>
<p>I have manually migrated one cascade instance data to another.
i.e from old cascade to live.</p>
<p>Users from different departments were making changes to their
pages while we were working on new site . Now the next step was to
transfer the data .</p>
<p>we see every folder date and compare it with the one in old
instance if dates are same or new instance folder has date greater
than old instance date than we didnt copied the internal pages.</p>
<p>Ideally it should have shown us the last modified date of last
page inside that folder just like if you add something in a folder
in WINDOWS , mac it shows last modified date as last entered item
inside that folder.</p>
<p>If it shows folder last modified date as specific to its meta
data only and doesnot keeps track of the pages inside it than
folder is just an item of type folder save in database or any
parent page to its child pages. Doesnot actually behaving like a
folder.</p>
<p>Hope above clears the problem.</p>
<p>Thanks<br>

<p>Thank you for explaining your use case. I can definitely see
where this could cause confusion.</p>
<p>Using a literal folder edit as the last modified time has been
around for a long time as a means to track changes to the folder
asset itself; otherwise, it could be a little confusing if the last
modified could be based on a number of different scenarios.</p>
<p>If we went with this premise, consider indirect relationships.
For instance, if a page within your folder contains a Block that
was updated, would you consider the page updated even though the
page itself was not changed?</p>
<p>That being said, please feel free to post a suggestion on our
Idea Exchange if you would like for this feature to be considered
for a future release.</p>
<p>In the meantime, I was thinking about this a bit and perhaps
what you could do is set up a page in each instance that publishes
an XML file containing page information, such as ID, name, path,
site and last modified. This page could be automatically published
nightly. Then, have a script that compares the two XML files to
determine which pages need to be updated.</p>
<p>Please let me know if you have any questions.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p></div>Ryan Griffith
