Watchlist changes -- last date saved

As was suggested from Ales' answer to my question about watchlist updated dates here: Watchlist changes question , would it be possible to make a change so that the watchlist shows the last date the profile was saved?  Currently the last date can include something that happened in the background but did not actually change the profile.  A number of us use the watchlist updated dates to keep an eye on what's happening to the profiles we manage.

Thanks Kathy! I would suggest replacing the  data_doctors  tag with  improvements .

Thanks, Jim -- great idea -- and DONE!

We are going to see if we can change it without adding too much additional processing time.

Thank you for posting this, Kathy. As noted in the other thread, quite a few members use the last edited date to track what they're working on.  When these mass changes happen in the background, it throws us off.

I was just glad Ales' answer suggested it was a possibility.  We'll just hope it gets added to the wish list of improvements!

Yes please! I am also working with the Edit Date as parameter on my watchlist and to see profiles up there where nothing visibly was changed (those tech changes are not visible for "normal" users) is pretty annoying.
