SharePoint folder "modified" date not accurate
Hi, the date in the system column "modified" for folders is not accurate. Although new files are created within the folder or modified, the folders modified date does not change. Which events trigg...
I think that folder modified date only updated when we create, or rename folder in SharePoint library.
It will not include changes in the subfolders or files within the folder.
I checked following and it is not working.
Create new file in folder
Update file in folder
Delete file in folder

Modified date of folder only changes when you change the create a new folder, rename an existing folder or change any metadata associated with the folder.

- Just to add to what Merlin has said, this should be a basic feature. I have been searching for the folder containing changes to files made by a colleague. This is a really useful feature, and it ought to be migrated to Exchange. Most people when working with Exchange will assume that it behaves just like Explorer.
