PnP libraries - difference between SMLastModifiedDate and TimeLastMofidied

Question

Hello,

I'd like to know the difference between SMLastModifiedDate and TimeLastMofidied

One is found when get the field with Get-PnPListItem while the other is found with Get-PnPFile

The code :

1. Get-PnPListItem -List <list> -Fields SMLastModifiedDate
2. Get-PnPFile -Url <url> #see property TimeLastModified

While testing, I saw some differences and I'd like to understand what is behind the SMLastModifiedDate respectively TimelastModified .

Thank you

Answer 1

TimeLastMofidied is the date and time when a record was last modified by a user

And SMLastModifiedDate is the system modified date, refers to the date and time when a record was last modified by a user or by an automated process, such as a flow trigger and etc.

Hi Emily,

Thank you for the crystal clear answer. I may ask you on top another related question

Does a simple file access (without changes applied to the file) impact one of those 2 dates or should I have a look on another field ? If I follow your instruction, it should be SMLastModifiedDate, but really not sure

Thank you
