Using the preferences editor changes the last modified date. Try editing the template from the booklist using F2 of any row of the column. IIRC that doesn't change the last modified date.

The rationale for changing the last modified date is to be sure that the backup OPF files are up to date. This is a rather complicated question, so the default is "any change requires a new backup".
