Its been a while, since I actually had to deal with on-premises SharePoint Farm … although im spent so many years with the platform, im still amazed on how you keep learning … with “legacy” systems. 😁
Recently, I’ve came across a strange behavior in a SharePoint 2016 farm : modified dates for sites, lists, libraries are more recent than expected when no updates were made by users …
In fact, it seems that the value in the ItemLastModifiedDate field, was showing user updates also by internal system operations.
Last time i check in SharePoint Online, there is a LastItemUserModifiedDate field with a timestamp that reflects changes made by users …
… wonder whats the value there in the 2016 platform …
Field doesn’t exist … ??? Hum?
Surprisingly, this is a expected behavior for SharePoint 2016 and prior versions . 😶
LastItemUserModifiedDate was only introduced with SharePoint 2019 and SharePoint Online, meaning on previous version, changes made by users and made by the platform fall over this field.
#didn’t knew that
