Hi, Suppose I set the option 'Update old record with new records data',
'Last modified date' is not changed by this action, as designed, maybee I
want to add a missing field or so, in this case I want to keep the old 'Last
modified date' , but, sometimes I would like 'Last modified date' to be
changed, in order to show that the request has been changed this day by this
importoperation...I can't send timestamp in the file to all records,because
not all records will be changed, data could be the same in the form as in
the file..How can I solve this, so 'Last modified date' will be changed if
the request is changed during import with this option...

Thanks...

L ars

I would separate your data into two imports: one for the records where you
want the Last-modified to change, and one where it should remain as is.
With the first one, import by mapping a static value ($TIMESTAMP$) to
Last-modified, and map the other with no change to Last-modified.
