Adding a Change set to a Work Item does not set the Modified Date

The work Item "Modified Date" does not change with adding a Change Set to the work Item. As a Manager I want to query for the Prio1 Customer DEFECTS. Is the development is working on it? Even if it is not yet closed. As a Developer, I want to query for my work items that were changed in a certain period of time. Especially if I delivered source code for my work item. And to look at the status of the work items. As a Team Lead, I want to query for my team work items that were changed. Especially if source code has been delivered for the team work items, but the status did not change yet. As a Developer delivering Source Code for a work item, I do not want to add a comment in the Work Item like "Again delivered SW" each time I delivered SW to the work Item! As a Work Item Creator, I did set a notification to recognize, if the work Item has changed. I want to be notified, if documents have been changed for this work item. As a Requirement Engineer, I created a Change Request. I want to be notified, if changes in DNG have been delivered regarding the Change request.

    Update 2026 from the Jazz France user group :

    Context: Today (2026), we are using EWM to manage and track software development activities. We are using dashboards with multiple widgets based on queries. As we have more than 100 work items per sprint on major projects, we are tracking only the work item that has been modified.

    Problem: When a work item attribute has been modified thanks to the work item editor, the modified date is set. In some of our case, a work item can be open a couple of days without any modification on it. However, users are pushing change set on this work item but it is not considered as modified.

    Impact:  Missing information and wrong interpretation on reporting

    Goal of the idea: When a change set or a link is added to a work item, the modified date and modified by attributes must be updated.

    Why it is useful ?: As a project manager, team leader or release manager, I can see if a work item is alive or not thanks the modified date and take a proper decision to call back or not the work item’s owner.

    How should it work ?: When a user adds or remove a change set from a work item, the modified date and modified by must be updated as all the attributes.

    - The EWM RFE Review board looked at this and decided to keep it on the Backlog as an uncommitted candidate for a future release.
