I’m batch editing posts (custom import) and I’d like them to not bump the topic they’re into (if they’re last post in the topic).

Passing the `post[updated_at]` parameter to the `/posts/{id}.json` endpoint seems ignored. Is that the case? Is there any way to do it?

**Edit:** the endpoint is `/t/[topic_id]/reset-bump-date`

There is a reset bump staff action on the topic in the wrench menu. You’d need to send that command after edit.
