Why Does Moqui Only Have lastUpdatedStamp not createdStamp?

Technical Questions
1

Hello everyone,

I am coming from OFBiz and noticed that in Moqui, we only have the lastUpdatedStamp field, whereas OFBiz includes additional timestamp fields like createdStamp, lastUpdatedStamp, createdTxStamp, and lastUpdatedTxStamp.

I was wondering if there is a specific reason behind this design choice. I particularly miss the createdStamp field, as it is useful when syncing data with other systems.

Would love to hear your insights. Thanks in advance!

There were plans to add a createdStamp for syncing with the entity-detail-new branch.

I think a createdStamp is a good idea. Especially if you have a good use case for it.

Although I’m not sure why we would need or use a createdTxStamp / lastUpdatedTxStamp.

Here is the PR to add createdStamp support:

This adds support for automatically setting createdStamp on entity creation, providing an immutable creation timestamp alongside lastUpdatedStamp.
