Is there a way to do a Bulk Attribute Update and avoid updating the LastEdited Editor Tracking Information?

This may be a bit of a silly ask, but I have a few Survey123 layers that we grab the information from to update our work management database. We are in the process of updating our approach, and I needed to add a field to flag rows that had already been entered. This means I have to update all of the existing data to flag them as already uploaded, which would overwrite the editor tracking information.

Is there a process to bulk update like this that can avoid changing the editor tracking information? This could be useful in a few different contexts for administrating datasets I feel like. I understand why this isn't preferred, but also it can remove the 'meaningful' editor tracking information in some cases.

To back up the data in my surveys I just download a copy of it, usually as a GDB. I will admit this time I did not, this data feeds directly into another system and then just kind of sits in Survey123, so all but a handful of records from today are basically the archive already.

After looking at this data I discovered because of the workflow almost all of the data had the same edit and created date info so I wasn't too worried, but I was curious about the potential process.

I just did this process turning the editor tracking off and back on for the survey in question, updated the field using the field calculator in Pro, then turned the editor tracking back on and everything seems to be working normally, so it is a viable strategy in the case of ArcGIS Online hosted feature layers.
