Update Trellis events only if content changed

[danahertzberg]

Motivation

The recently updated content is appearing at the top of the content page on the client's website. Since this content is constantly being updated, it is making for a confusing UI on the website because the content was not updated and the event actually has passed.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Example: The event "Graduate Center Open House Fall 2024" (Trellis link) is appearing in the site's content as being last updated on 12/9/2024.

Active events are updated every day by the Blackthorn events product, and we have no control over that.

Proposed Resolution

Describe the solution you'd like

I want to see the updated date on the Quickstart website side to show when content was actually updated, not refresh every day regardless of if there were changes.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Per Troy: I'm curious if we could do something on the Quickstart side that follows logic like "Only update it if something besides the last modified date changes in the update"

Roles and Permissions considerations

A clear and concise description of how each of the following roles would be impacted by this change:

• Anonymous user
• Authenticated user
• Content editor: Changes to content last updated date
• Content administrator: Changes to content last updated date
• Administrator: Changes to content last updated date
