Last updated doesn't seem to be working for me.

Hi! Excellent product, very happy with things so far. I've added some people yesterday and created a note on one person today, I sort the people by last updated but the note I created doesn't seem to count as an update? Am I doing this wrong? Ideally, I'd be able to view my contacts by the last time they were updated with ANYTHING email, note, etc. Any help would be appreciated.

Last updated refers to time of last update of record field and not its' relations, one way to do it would be with automation and another field like this: - create a new field (preferably number type) named "Last update timestamp" or something similar to this - using n8n and Twenty webhooks create an automation: 1. in Twenty webhook set Timeline Activities All (1 rule) or Created and Updated (2 rules) 2. trigger/starting point is a response from Twenty webhook 3. filter the JSON to check if there's eventName="timelineActivity.created" and "record.name"="linked-*.created" 4. if these conditions are met, then fetch the ID of linked record and send API request to check if it's the ID of people record, if so, update the field created in the beginning with current timestamp from Date.now() - in Twenty hide newly created field and sort by it descending so that newest records will be on top Here's an example of webhook from Twenty

@Tributaries is creating a linked record only condition or there are more conditions which you want to check?
