#1787 Bulk update changes Password Modification time

[Cedric Tefft]

When doing bulk icon, color, or tag updates, the Last Password Modification timestamp gets updated even though the password was not changed.

To reproduce:

• Select (left click) any entry
• Note Last Modification Time and Last Password Modification timestamps
• Right-click on the selected entry and select "Selected Entries" -> "Set Color" -> "Light Red"
• Note both Last Modification Time and Last Password Modification time have been updated

The Last Password Modification Time should not have been changed.

This only happens on bulk updates. Changing an entry's icon, color, or tag through the Edit Entry dialog box works as expected; i.e. it does not cause the entry's Last Password Modification Time to change.

KeePass does not use time stamps for individual fields, only for the entire entry, therefore there is no "Last Password Modification" time.

I can assure you, there is. It was introduced in 2.36. Look at the changelog https://keepass.info/news/n170609_2.36.html

"Added optional 'Last Password Modification Time (Based on History)' entry list column."

Better yet, just open Keepass and look. Under View -> Configure Columns -> (scroll down to the "More" section) -> 'Last Password Modification Time (Based on History)

[Paul]

That is a generated field based on the last history entry (it is the time of the last history entry). It does not track changes to the password field. Editing an entry to change an icon or tag updates that value.

I've added this now; mass entry modifications (colors/icons) now create history entries, if necessary. As a consequence, the 'Last Password Modification Time (Based on History)' column shows a time before such a modification.

Here's the latest development snapshot for testing:

I tested the snapshot. Works perfectly. Thanks!
