Reverse Replication working when I freshly add cq:distribute prop

Question

I am trying to demonstrate basic reverse replication on AEM 6.5.10.
Created a new reverse replication agent in author which works fine.

Created a servlet to modify page content which changes some values as well as adds the cq:distribute property with value true.
Whenever I run the servlet and the page content get the distribute property, reverse replication works. After this If I hit the servlet again then some props change but reverse replication does not work.

When I checked the logs I found that the polling is working fine and it fetched 0 files which means there is nothing in the outbox.
Now here is the weird part -> If I delete the cq:distribute property from crx/de and run the servlet then reverse replication works.
In short: Reverse replication works only when I add the cq:distribute property to the node. If the property already exists and I change some other property then the reverse replication does not work.

@vinit_pillai - Checking, are you also clearing the cq:distribute property and saving session?

Hi @vinit_pillai, does your servlet also modifies/updates cq:lastModifiedDate value, every time it's changing other fields?

Maybe this documentation will be also useful for you https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/experience-manager/kb/HowToUseReverseReplication.html
