Profile was modified in the watchlist but no changes in the change-log [closed]

Again, a number of the profiles I manage have been "modified but although this time the profile shows a last modified date, there are no associated changes in the change log.  What has happened internally to record the modification but no changes?

Profiles are Grovenstein-5, Zettler-26, Zipperer-36, Ziegler-951, Ochsle-6, and several others.  I have not added them to the WikiTree ID box so that the question doesn't show up on the profiles.  Most of these profiles have Salzburger stickers.  Did something change for that?

And -- just in case you're reading this and want to see the discussions of 2 weeks ago they are here: Watchlist changes and here: Watchlist changes & improvements

Sorry, Kathy, I didn't know.   blush

No problem Melanie -- The sticker/photo was my thought.

There are all sorts of things that could cause the database entry to be updated -- changes to the Trusted List, comments on the profile, changes to templates, changes to Privacy, + more.

We are still working on changing the date in Watchlist to something else -- the most recent email about it between the team was this morning.

Jamie, would a change to the profile's Primary image (renaming it, for example) affect the watchlist in this way?
Yep, that probably would have done it.

Then that's what it was in this instance.  I renamed the image used as Primary from a generic "ADWP image #xyz" to "Salzburger emigrant descendant" (which it should have been all along).

06:12: You edited the Photo Title and Photo Date on ADWP-722.png (Paul-5413 updated photo)

@ Jamie:  Thanks so much for letting me know so quickly.  

@ Melanie: Thank you for editing the name of that photo/sticker.  Now, I'll probably be able to search for it!  Oh well, one more thing that changes profiles.  Now to work on getting all those profiles (that aren't direct ancestors) off my watchlist.  smiley
