Change in the update date

Question : 

When loading the creation date and update date for two existing crosswalks within the tenant entity, it was observed that the creation date was modified while the update date remained unchanged. What could be the reason for this discrepancy?

Answer : 

The Reltio platform is designed with a specific mechanism to handle attribute updates efficiently. In this system, if there are no changes detected in an attribute, the platform will not modify the update date associated with that attribute. This means that the update timestamp remains unchanged unless an actual change or modification occurs in the attribute's value. This approach helps in maintaining accurate and meaningful update records, ensuring that only genuine updates are reflected in the system's data.
