Problem
After upgrading Confluence from 2.7 to 4.5.3, the attachments versions are all shown with the creation date of the first version.
Cause
In Confluence 2.7 both Creation Date and Last Mod Date were shown.
Upgrading to a newer version makes Confluence show just the the creation date (of the first version) instead of the last modification date.
Workaround
Always back up your data before making any database modifications. If possible, test any alter, insert, update, or delete SQL commands on a staging server first.
A simple query should change that:
1
UPDATE ATTACHMENTS SET creationdate = lastmoddate;By doing that, we are replacing the creationdate to lastmoddate content, which will make confluence pick the correct values.
