Child display macro updates not changing last updated time

Nikki Cantrell

We use the "last updated" time through the api to determine if the page was updated and we need to pull in a new version. When using the child display macro, the page is updated everytime there is a new child, but the "last updated" time does not change. Can someone please suggest a workaround on how to determine when the page is updated to know we need to pull a new version?

If you include a macro like the child display macro the page is not being updated, the macro content is when a new child page is added.  Thus when a child page is added the page is not updated because it already contains the macro.   If you want to update the page that has a macro in it that could be updated you would have to change the logic around when you perform that update.
