There may be a third tricky place for Modified date. 3) When importing data from Family Search using LegacyFS, is the Modified date set consistently. Likewise the Added date if it is a new record being added to the Legacy database.

If changes are discarded, the Modified date should not be changed. 4) A Cancel when no changes have been made should function as it does currently without a change to Modified date. Two tricky problems with the Modified date. 1) When exporting Legacy data to a new Legacy database, the Modified date is changed in the exported data file. Likewise when importing a Legacy database, the Modified dates in the imported data are changed. 2) When merging records, if information in the Notes is edited, replaced, or appended...those changes are immediate. There is no cancel to discard those changes even if the records are not merged.

Click save and it does.

Don't think I have ever looked at this. However, I am not sure I like it. I just clicked in the marriage event of one at random to look at the data. Never changed anything but it says the data was modified as of the time I looked. This doesn't seem very good idea. If I had modified any of the data fine,.. but I didn't.
