Table of Contents

The columns Last modifier and Last modified time are exclusively filled automatically by SeaTable and therefore represent special column types. They prove to be extremely useful if you want to track when and by whom an entry was last edited.

Since the two columns automatically capture changes to entries, they are well suited, for example, as triggers for automations and sorting .

While SeaTable fills the Last modifier column with the name of the user who last edited the row, the Last modified time column records the moment (date and time) when the last edit occurred.

The columns Last modifier and Last modified time after being created by a user

  • You cannot manually change the automatically entered values in the Last modifier and Last modified time columns. The values update themselves as soon as a change is made to a row.
  • When creating the two types of columns, apart from the column name, no options are available.
  • Only one column of each type can be created per table. If you try to create another column of the same type, the message “Another column has this column type.” appears.

  • For this reason, you cannot duplicate Last modifier and Last modified time columns and customize their column type.
