I have a custom list named WorkOrders inside our SharePoint online tenant. now this custom list contain around 10K items. and i want to do some modifications to existing list items, as follow:-

 

1- I want to add a new custom column named Media.

2- Based on some calculation from another list i want to update this custom column Media.

 

but the ModifiedBy and Modified date for the work order items are important to us, and we do not want to affect those 2 fields when updating the new custom column.. so is there a way to update a list item without affecting the Modified By and Modified Date, by using:-


1) Built-in Update List Item action?
2) Using direct SharePoint Rest API?

any advice?

    Hi
     
    No, you cannot. Those are system managed columns so if you change it the modified date has to change for Compliance purposes. Trying to somehow avoid it etc would be a real issue for data compliancy
