cakePHP - modified field not updating

Question

Any ideas on how to debug a modified field that is not being updated? The created field works fine.

I'm not sure what code you would need to look at so let me know!

Thanks

Answer 1

I got the same problem today and found out the modified field is only updated if any changes have been made, otherwise the field will not be touched.

Answer 2

Like Anh Pham said, the modified and created field need to be DATETIME and they also need to default to NULL, as explained in the CakePHP book about the subject.
