field "timeupdated"

Hi,

field "timeupdated" seems to change regardless if something actually changes. Is this default behavior or am i missing something here?

If the "timeupdated" field is associated with a database table, the database management system (DBMS) may automatically update timestamp fields with the current time whenever a record is modified or inserted, even if no actual data changes. This is often referred to as a "timestamp" or "last modified" field, and it's a common feature in database systems.

The field time_updated should be the same as the standard joomla content field modified. Both are datetime fields, not timestamp fields as such. One would expect same behavior. If nothing changes nothing is updated/modified. Now this field makes no sense whatsoever and one could as well use a timestamp type instead. Modification does not equal hitting a save button.

I stand myself corrected, same happens with the joomla modified field. Both wrong IMHO.
