What metadata from fields can be dyamic? (like a fields created date)

I posted a question related to this :How to figure out 'Modified By' for a Thing?:

I’m wondering what metadata from the server side regarding fields and Things can be available as dynamic date? Would it be technically possible to get metadata for Thing’s fields?

I have a use case for a user to see which Things’ entries have been updated since that user’s last visit. This means recording a ‘modified by’ field (to show WHO updated the Thing) but ideally also a recording mechanism for individual fields for that Thing. So a field’s modified date for example. This way the user can also see which fields have been updated, not just the entire Thing.

Is this data even available?

I think that with exposing the Attribute ID next to thing’s value and state would solve this issue.

Although it is technically possible by:

When input is changed > Set state of this input: ‘id=element-name-x’ > make changes to parent group’s thing > ‘Modified element=this element’s id’.

Then add a condition to the element: when parent group’s Thing’s Modified element is ‘element-name-x’ do whatever to flag.

It works but it is not dynamic.

Hey @vincent56 ! I’m strugling for the same issue. Did you get any evolution on this?
