I'm also curious how this works with templates. In pretty much all cases I have a "else $columnname" to return the currently-existing value rather than nulling it out. Would this count as a modificaiton or not?
If you want to preserve the last modified column(s), stick to templates, because unlike pre-defined option it will check with the old value before updating. Returning "else $columnname" will not count as modification.
