WTH: add last-updated column to automations list?

Month of "What the heck?!"

The Settings > Automations list shows the “Last triggered” date&time, but I would find a “Last updated” detail to be useful (for the Scenes and Scripts tabs too). I expect that detail is perhaps not currently recorded, could it be added?

  1. The “last-updated” name would be confusing since this term has a special DIFFERENT meaning.
  2. What you probably need is “last edited”.

At 2024.8 new “modified” & “created” columns were added & can be shown in Entities tab. But for most cases they show a temperature on Mars:

because these particular automations were created earlier than a displayed “Nov 20” (but after 2024.8) & were edited last also not on displayed dates. Not to mention that plenty of other automations (with unique id but stored in yaml) which were edited yesterday have no properly displayed “modified”.

Also here.

So, I would appreciate adding a possibility to show “created” & “modified” columns for Automations, Helpers - but only when these properties will be defined properly since currently they are BS (sorry).

Okay, I see Created and Modified available to add on the Entities tab. I added Modified, but the time/date for an automation updated just minutes ago shows as nulll, or as you said, “a temperature on Mars”.

So, yeah: “I would appreciate adding a possibility to show ‘created’ & ‘modified’ columns for Automations, Helpers”, etc., on their respective tabs under Settings > Automations & scenes.

Thanks.
