Thanks @ESadek-MO
I'm confident that you have captured all the manager methods that need to update the timestamp.
Some requests for you

This is an inappropriate place for testing timestamp - it has no bearing on the functioning of a Cube.

These two together create some kind of infinite loop, since the setter accesses the getter then the getter accesses the setter...
Also when I tested this, asking for my_coord.bounds returns None, but perhaps that problem will go away once the above problem is fixed.

Something missed in #4757 and in previous discussions: the metadata such as units, standard_name, etcetera is also subject to change.
Thankfully it is quick to recalculate, so we don't need to protect it behind a date check. But we do need a way to make sure it is recalculated on the fly.
Metadata classes a tricksy and it's probably best if we don't make any changes there. Instead we can put self._metadata_manager behind a `@property' so that we can regenerate it every time before returning it:
1
- self._metadata_manager = metadata_manager_factory(MeshCoordMetadata)
+ self._some_other_name = metadata_manager_factory(MeshCoordMetadata)2
@property
def _metadata_manager(self):
# An explanatory comment.
self._some_other_name.standard_name = something
# Etcetera for all standard coord metadata
# THIS INCLUDES DETERMINING THE CORRECT VALUE, AS IN
# THE CURRENT BLOCK WITHIN _load_points_and_bounds
return self._some_other_name3
I don't think this will be necessary since I don't think there will be any calls to set self._metadata_manager?

🚀 Pull Request
Closes #4757.
This pull request aims to make MeshCoords immutable, and when it's corresponding Mesh updates, for the MeshCoord to refresh its Points, Bounds, and Metadata from the Mesh.
