How to update Date Modified in SharePoint Online?

I have a SharePoint Teams Channel that has Documents; a single zip file is the only document that I update. I am using FME Form 2021.

 

I created a workspace using the Path Reader and SharePointOnlineConnector. It uploads a file to SharePointOnline and overwrites the file already there. I run the workspace with no errors.

 

When I go into SharePoint Online, I check the file and the Date Modified does not change. The Date Modified should say “a few seconds ago” or have a timestamp. 

 

This is not a SharePoint List. 

 

Is there a way to modify the timestamp in SharePoint Online so that I know the file uploaded using FME was updated (overwritten) in SharePoint Online?

    Is this a document library? Are you checking the date on the file or the columns in the library?

    It is a document library. I am checking the date in the column in the library. I check the date in the library column by logging into Teams and going to the Group - Files - Documents.

    Hi ​@vxn43 Okay I got it. It took me a sec to figure out. What I do is upload to the doc library with the SharePointOnlineConnector then populate the table columns with what I want using a SharepointList Writer. Hope that helps!
     

    You can expose the Sharepoint_Item_id from the OnlineConnector (_list_item_id)
