ConfiFroms: Copy a template page & update table record on a different page whenever the page updated

Question

Hi,

I have a form created that will copy a template page based on a user input. I then have that same form creating a record within a tracker page. This is different than where the form is generated and takes in user input.

I am having difficulty and adding triggers to the base template pages that would enable my tracker page to be updated with last modified date.

I have tried multiple paths from searching but still unable to get it. What would be the recommended approach to having triggers on the main template pages that will be copied/created and update to my tracker whenever that page gets updated in the future.

You can save back the page (into the page field in ConfiForms) that has been created after the copy page IFTTT, assuming you copy just one page at once. This way you will be able to access ANY property of the Page object, including the lastModificationDate

I couldnt reply to your comment below for some reason.

Correct, confiforms is creating the page and then inserting a time stamp into a lastupdated field for the moment it is created.

I then wanted a way for that field lastupdated to be updated whenever that new page gets a published change. I wasnt sure if there was something in confiforms that would help.

What is the "last updated" field?

Just so I understand

* You copy a page by submitting the ConfiForms form
* And what to save back the time when you have done that?
