🕔 Updated Timestamps

This information is based on observation, not the official documentation.
These lists are not exhaustive! Other things might change updated timestamps.

Person Updated

[person].[updated] is updated immediately when updating a column on [person], such as First Name or Sex.

[person].[updated] is updated after the Person rules queue finishes any pass. Things that cause a Person record to enter the Person rules queue:

• Updating a person-scoped custom field.
• Updated an application-scoped custom field.
• Updating a column on [person], such as First Name or Sex.
• Running an import that has "Disable Update Queue" set to false (allows rules to fire).

Application Updated

[application].[updated] is updated after the Application rules queue finishes any pass. The timestamp will be close to [person].[updated] but may be a second or two later. Things that cause an Application record to enter the Application rules queue include:

• Updating an application-scoped field.
• Updating a column on [person], such as First Name or Sex. [is it queued instantly or after 1st person rules pass?] This "expansion" from person to application only happens if the application is in an active Round [ what about Period?].
