Edition timestamp

1

Hi,

In the options for field types of the “Date and time” category, I find types of “cancellation”, “creation”, “deletion” and “join” but no type for “edition”.
We keep track of an “update time” (“updated_at” field) and would like Metabase to make sense of that (pretty similarly to a deletion time).
What is the best similar field? Should I pick “Deletion time” because we do not keep a deletion time in itself, or would that be a bad idea for some reason?

Hi @ywarnier
Use any of them. The various different types are mainly used for X-rays, but it is important to define a Field Type in regards to how formatting is applied (and a few other things).
