Updated date+discussion

It looks like your setup is using utc. (UTC is 4 hours ahead of EDT)

 

Wagn is just using the default ruby on rails behavior here; we basically named the fields "created_at" and "updated_at" in the db table and Rails does all the rest.

 

Since that's the case, something like the solution described here should work for you:

(note to self) relevant code is here: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/activerecord/lib/active_record/timestamp.rb

I ended up including _Self|change on the card as a way to display when it was updated, but that looks bizarre because it also displays the name of the card on the same line as the update time. Is there a better way?

oh, sorry, I missed the core question here.

 

There is an updated_at view and a created_at view.

hmm. those two are expressed in time "ago":

{{_|updated_at}} = about 10 years

{{_|created_at}} = about 10 years

 

We also have these (which may be renamed at some point):

{{_+*when created}} =

{{_+*when last edited}} =

the *when last edited is what I was looking for. Thanks!
