Reports Tab: "Updated At" column not updating correctly for takeoffs

Under Review

Working on a revision and was using the "Updated At" column to quickly identify the takeoffs that were modified by me to port them over to my Excel template.

Everything seemed fine until I noticed a takeoff that I'm positive I made changes to last week appearing as if I never changed anything, and so I expanded it.

The takeoff shows on the report as if it was never updated, even though when you expand it, you can clearly see sections that were in fact updated

Hey Jes, we've been discussing this internally. What's happening here is that the Takeoff definition itself has not been updated, but you have created/updated sections for that takeoff (which is why the sections have more recent Updated At dates).

We are trying to decide whether adding/updating a section should update the takeoff's "Updated At", or if they should be separate. From a reports standpoint, we could easily make the takeoff row show the latest updated time (either the takeoff definition or the newest section, whichever is greater). This approach would allow you to check which takeoff had recently updated sections, but from an audit standpoint, when someone asks who last updated the takeoff definition, you know who did, and it's not affected by whoever updated the sections of that takeoff.

Curious about your thoughts.
