- Ingrid SchieleJul 28, 2019Brass ContributorThanks for reply, unnie. Sorry for the late response. I didn't receive a message that theres a reply for my post.
Yes, the field was added to library at a later point of time.
That means if I want to use this Refiner I have to update all existant files?
I don't want to do that because the files becomed modified and the user are confused why. They're just interested in changes of file content not Metadata :-).
Is there a way to change the metadata without effect on the modify date?
