[GNC] is trn:date-entered record modified time?

[John Ralls]

But developers read this list too. ;-)

Date Entered is the date the transaction was created and it's not changed if the transaction is edited later. There is no record of the last modification date in the main data file. You may be able to recover that from the transaction logs if you keep all of them forever.

Regards,
John Ralls
