Adding last edit date for power contributors

Problem

• Adding last edit date for power contributors

[anshpathania7]

where to add this in App?

[monsieurtanuki]

I suggest you put it in edit product page, just under the barcode. That's a good starting point.

@monsieurtanuki I have implemented this but in case of Null. Should we show the Text as "Not modified yet" or something like this to let user know ?

And should the Text "Last edited at" be Localized?

[teolemon]

We could add the entry date if that's the case you're in ?

[monsieurtanuki]

@anshpathania7 Just don't show the Text if the timestamp is null (personal opinion).
Of course "last edited" should be localized. So should the dateTime itself, I guess.
@teolemon I think we only have one timestamp in Product: DateTime? lastModified

[anshpathania7]

@teolemon So will it be an extra field named createdAt or existing lastModified field will have the value of created at?

[anshpathania7]

@monsieurtanuki if we don't show Text in case of Null, it will be confusing for user, as they won't know if such Text exists or not.

[monsieurtanuki]

@anshpathania7 It's just my personal opinion: as a user I would prefer to see nothing that a Text saying "Last modified: I don't know".
That said, you'd be better off asking @teolemon, who has the experience of the legacy apps.

I agree the best solution would be to if null change it to "Created at" but until now we can make it not show

[teolemon]

It's indeed a nice to have, so showing nothing at all is no big deal.
We have creation date ("Product created on XX/XX/XXXX") , and last edit date("Product created on XX/XX/XXXX and last edited on XX/XX/XXX"), so we should have 0 product where we can't show anything, excepted newly created products, when you are offline, and it hasn't been uploaded yet to Open Food Facts (we could show: "This product hasn't been sent yet to Open Food Facts")

[M123-dev]

and it hasn't been uploaded yet to Open Food Facts (we could show: "This product hasn't been sent yet to Open Food Facts")

I guess it will always be on off if we are able to enter the edit page. We don't show something like that on the addition page.

But I guess we don't have the creation date in off-dart, do we?
