that relationship is maintained by a field on the child record, I wouldn't expect the parent record to be modified when a field on the child is set

Do you know if it is possible to modify the "lastmodified" field on a record?

you can do load and save the record or do an xedit with record.submitFields

the field is used by NetSuite for a specific function. It cannot be changed outside of its intended function of storing when the record was last saved

So the hack around is to load and save the record even if there are no changes to the record.

Actually it makes my life much easier if this is the case because they I don't have to create or find a timestamp function.
