When updating a database field via the inline edit method, the $updatedAt column does not get updated. Only if the row is updated by the "Update" interface (the right sidebar), the $updatedAt column gets properly updated.
TL;DR
Issue: Inline editing rows in column not updating $updatedAt timestamp
Solution: This issue occurs when updating via inline edits instead of the sidebar "Update" feature in Appwrite's built-in database. The $updatedAt column does not update unless using the sidebar interface.

I can help! The issue is that inline edits aren't triggering the automatic $updatedAt timestamp update, while sidebar updates do.
Are you using Appwrite's built-in database, or is this a custom implementation? Also, which version are you running?
