'Update date' misleading

[ChrisMathers]

Our open data portal is set up to pull data from our server site live but a member of the public noticed that the 'About' block on the right side of a download page for a dataset shows the date I registered the service with AGOL in April. It looks like the data hasn't been updated in two months even though the data is as current as we see in our own office. Is there a way to fool it into updating often or drop it from the page entirely?

I've overwritten a few hosted feature layers after having added field aliases in order for the public to better understand the data.  While the "Date Last Updated" is correct and the field aliases show up when I look at the hosted feature layer in my ArcGIS Online content, the date isn't updated and the original field names are still showing on our Open Data site for these datasets.

I have found that if I click on "Edit" and then "Save" in the Description through ArcGIS Online content, the aliases and date are then updated on our Open Data site, but this can't be the normal workflow, can it?

Has there been any movement on this issue or is it add a field or enable editor tracking?

10 years later and this issue still hasn't been resolved. how can we remove/hide updated date/created date and or make it reference the correct value?

Is there any scripts that 'touch' the open data layers to make them show a current last update date?    I recall finding something years ago, but don't know where it is now.   Thank you

This is how I was able to update the data via python

#connect to GIS
from arcgis.gis import GIS
gis = GIS("https://website.maps.arcgis.com/", "UserName", "**********")

#Get user that owns folder
user = gis.users.get("UserName")

#Get list of items
list = user.items(folder='Open Data')

for i in list:
    i.update(item_properties = {'accessInformation': "COS"})

Updating the accessinformation sets the updated date to today
