Prevent Changes to The Last Modified Attribute

If you want to make a "silent" change to a content item that does not cause its Last modified attribute to be updated, you can do so by adding a keep-last-modified="true" attribute to the Atom entry's app:control element. A retrieved content item Atom entry always has an app:control element containing information about its current state. For example:

<app:control>
  <app:draft>yes</app:draft>
  <vaext:state name="draft-published" 
               href="http://host-ip-address/webservice/escenic/content/state/draft-published/editor"/>
</app:control>

All you have to do is add the attribute as follows to prevent the Last modified attribute being updated:

<app:control keep-last-modified="true">
  <app:draft>yes</app:draft>
  <vaext:state name="draft-published" 
               href="http://host-ip-address/webservice/escenic/content/state/draft-published/editor"/>
</app:control>
