Adding an OpportunityLineItem to an Opportunity updates Opportunity's SystemModstamp

Hi,

When I add an OpportunityLineItem to an Opportunity, the Opportunity's SystemModStamp changes along with the OpportunityLineItem. Why does the SystemModStamp of Opportunity get updated?

Shun,

See http://forums.sforce.com/sforce/board/message?board.id=scontrols&message.id=183 ... for an explanation of SystemModStamp ...

Scot,

Thanks for the link. That clarifies some things.

However, according to the link, an "indirect" modification of an entity does NOT affect the LastModifiedDate, but I know that in salesforce.com, if I add a product to an Opportunity, the Opportunity's LastModifiedDate is being updated. Shouldn't the LastModifiedDate stay the same by this logic?

Hi Shun,

No, the LastModifiedDate is for the object itself.  If you modify some related record then the SystemModStamp is updated.  This is the stamp that is set when the system modifies the record.  This is an indirect modification to the object, where as the last modified is a direct modification by the user.
