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.
