  Starting from ABP Framework v8.3, there was a change in how audit properties (such as LastModifierId and LastModificationTime) are updated when navigation (child) properties change. In previous versions, updating a child entity through a parent would automatically update the parent's audit columns. However, after the update, this behavior was modified to only update the parent's audit columns if the navigation property itself changes, not just the child entity's data.

  This means that if you update only the child entity (e.g., a collection or owned entity) and not the parent entity or its navigation property reference, the parent's audit columns will not be updated automatically.

  To restore the previous behavior, you need to explicitly update the parent entity or set a property on the parent to trigger the audit property update when a child entity changes.

  Example workaround:

  // After updating the child entity
  parentEntity.LastModificationTime = DateTime.Now; // or any other property change
  await _parentRepository.UpdateAsync(parentEntity);
  

  Alternatively, you can review your domain logic to ensure that any child entity update also marks the parent as modified if you want the audit columns to reflect changes in child entities.

  yes, to reproduce refer the below example, here my teams table is child table and its parent is user table, in first example I just updated isActive value from false to true and with that Modifier id and modification time was update but in second example I updated teams so Modifier id and modification time is not updated for user table, it is updated for user and team mapping table, audit information for parent table used to update earlier but it stopped updating after abp version update

  { "userId": "03a062cb-49b9-4b1e-94b9-69bfdb381a8f", "fullName": "test", "email": "testuser@test.sg", "isActive": true, "institutionId": 5, "remark": null, "roleId": "1d761946-076c-dfaa-832f-3a09ec002f59", "teams": [ 23 ] }

  { "userId": "03a062cb-49b9-4b1e-94b9-69bfdb381a8f", "fullName": "test", "email": "testuser@test.sg", "isActive": true, "institutionId": 5, "remark": null, "roleId": "1d761946-076c-dfaa-832f-3a09ec002f59", "teams": [ 23, 25 ] }

  let me know if you need more details.
