Updating asset price does not change the 'Updated' field

When updating the price of catalog assets like t-shirts, the change is not reflected in the ‘Updated’ field when getting product details via the API or game.MarketplaceService:GetProductInfo()

Reproduction steps:

  • Create a t-shirt, like this one 100k - Roblox

  • Use the web api or GetProductInfo() to get item details
    https://economy.roblox.com/v2/assets/14363967415/details
    Note the ‘Updated’ field at the bottom indicates the asset was last updated at 2023-08-31T20:57:05.3411118Z

  • Reprice the item

  • Repeat the api call to get the items details again

As you can see the price of the item has updated, however the updated time has not.

Expected behavior

  • When performing changes to gamepass prices, the updated field is correctly updated to reflect the gamepass has changed.
  • When performing changes to tshirt title and description, the updated field is correctly updated to reflect the asset has changed.
  • I would expect this field to be consistent and to update when the price is changed.

Thanks for the report! We’ll follow up when we have an update for you;

Have you found a solution to see if the price of clothing has been changed?

#4

This is still an issue and ended up massively confusing me when I noticed that the Updated date was incorrect on a bunch of catalog assets; it is also worth noting that only catalog assets are affected by this bug.

I consulted the team and discussed possible solutions.
We’ve decided not to change the updated time on the AssetV2 API.
The updated time on AssetV2 is meant to be the updated time of the asset, instead of the product. And the price is part of the product information. There are other computed fields like Sales and Remaining changes are also not going to reflected by the “Updated” time.
I’d like offer some alternatives for your use cases. Please see https://devforum.roblox.com/t/critical-issues-with-roblox-changing-2d-clothing-items-to-collectible-item-product-type/3185348/4
