After upgrading ArcGIS Enterprise from 10.7.1 to 10.8.1 the Modified Dates are getting reset to the original creation date for all user content.

After upgrading ArcGIS Enterprise from 10.7.1 to 10.8.1 the Modified Dates are getting reset to the original creation date for all user content.

We have multiple environments and I have attempted upgrading the development and test environments. In both instances encountered the same issue.

I have found a very similar issue logged as a BUG-000112885

As per the bug report, the issue was with modified dates getting set to the upgrade date. Also the specific issue was fixed at version 10.6.1

In my case the update/modified dates are getting rest to the item creation date.

Prior to running the upgrade I have installed all the available patches.

Would appreciate some help resolving the issue or any workarounds to update the modified dates.

Just learned from ESRI support that this is a known issue.

BUG-000136026 Portal for ArcGIS resets the 'Updated:' dates of items to the 'Created:' dates upon upgrading to a new version. This was logged a few weeks back.

I was wondering if there is any workaround to deal with this issue. Don't think the ArcGIS Python API item modified property is settable!

Sudhir we ran into that as well. Don't think there is anything you can do about it other than update your metadata.

Thanks for the confirmation Jeff. We don't have any workflows that utilize the item update dates. So, not a major issue, but these quirks are annoying!
