Issue

  • 'lastPublishDate' column is showing as NULL in 'DLFileEntry' table.
  • According to the use case, users need to show the last publish date of the document.

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.3
  • Liferay DXP 7.4

Resolution

  • 'lastPublishDate' value will only be shown when a document is published to live using staging.
  • However, if users need to show last publish date of a document in custom code, 'modifiedDate' could be used in this specific use case, as this entity stores the last modified date of the content.
