AEM Asset API not updating jcr:lastModified and jcr:lastModifiedBy of content fragment

[Naga_Seran]

Hi All, We have an internal tool to update content fragment using Asset API. We found that jcr:lastModified and jcr:lastModifiedBy information is not updating while making updates to content fragment using AEM asset api. We tried to add modifiedBy & modified properties in request body but no luck. Could you please advise on this method: 'put', url: '/api/assets/', data: '{"properties":{"modifiedBy":"admin","modified":"","contentFragment":true,"elementsOrder":["state","plan"],"elements":{"state":{":type":"string","title":"State","multiValue":true,"dataType":"string","value":["NY"]},"plan":{":type":"string","title":"Plan","multiValue":true,"dataType":"string","value":["1234"]}}}}', Thanks, Seran

Modified and modified by property are protected property in aem. These properties values are maintained by aem and can’t be modified by any script or even via crx/de

Thank You for your reply PraksahRaj. Do we have a way to get these values updated when an update happened to content fragment from AEM asset api

you don't need /asset/api to work with content fragment. its only required for assets.

I am not sure how your internal tool works with if you go with simple curl you can update the content fragment data using below curl command

curl -u admin:admin http://localhost:4502/content/dam/content-fragments/{your_content_fragment_path}/jcr:content -F "modifiedBy=admin" -F "contentFragment=true"
