****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ****** In NetSuite, the
lastmodifieddate
field is automatically updated whenever a record is edited and saved, even if no changes are made to the record data. This is a built-in feature of NetSuite and there is no direct setting to disable or change this behavior. However, if you want to prevent the
lastmodifieddate
from updating in certain scenarios, such as during CSV imports or manual updates, you might need to create a custom field and a workflow to track the modifications. This custom field can serve as your own version of
lastmodifieddate
and the workflow can be configured to update this field based on your specific requirements. Here's a high-level overview of how you can set this up: 1. Create a custom date/time field on the record type you're interested in. This will serve as your custom
lastmodifieddate
. 2. Create a workflow that triggers on record edit. 3. In the workflow, add a state with an action that sets the value of your custom field to the current date/time. 4. Configure the workflow to only trigger under the specific conditions where you want the
lastmodifieddate
to update. For example, you can set it to not trigger during CSV imports. Please note that this is a workaround and may not be suitable for all use cases. Always test thoroughly before implementing in a live environment.
