When modifying a user via the api I wanted to use users.updated_at as criteria for the last update. Now I noticed that it is not set anew upon all actions. Eg, when changing watched categories or watch 1st post categories, it is not. Why not? I do add new users put users to groups delete users …

That would be category_users and there is no updated_at. Or is the category itself altered when a user sets it on watched?

It looks like you’re right and that there is no updated_at for the category_users table. I’m not sure how to solve your problem, you could create a user_custom_field that you updated via the API, I think.

Thank you Jay, that seems to be a workaround.

Watched categories are in their own table, so you’d need to check there, I think.
