I have in my model a date created attribute and a date last updated attribute. When adding a new item, I set both to the current timestamp. However, on an update I would like to be able to have the autosave option auto-update the last updated date automatically. Turning off autosave and doing it manually is challenging to get right.

Does anyone know of a solution to this such as extending ModelContext? It seems like last updated date would be a common model requirement.

Self solved... I turned off autosave then used List with the selection option and saved with last updated date modified onChange of the selection when the old selection had hasChanges = true. Essentially autosaves on selection change. Also did the same if the view disappeared via onDisappear. macOS app BTW
