We previously only used `created_at` date in `datePublished` schema property. Now if a post is updated then the `updated_at` date will used in `dateModified` schema property along with existing `datePublished` property. I did it for all the posts. Since we now including both the dates it won’t be a issue. Google search already [respecting the both](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/article#article_types).
