The last updated column displays the date an item was last modified and who updated it.

Via the API, the last updated column supports read and filter operations.

Column Type	Implementation Type	Supported Operations
`last_updated`	`LastUpdatedValue`	Read: Yes Filter: Yes Update: No Clear: No

Queries

Last updated columns can be queried through the column_values field on items queries using an inline fragment on LastUpdatedValue.

query {
  items(ids: [1234567890, 9876543210]) {
    column_values {
      ... on LastUpdatedValue {
        updated_at
        value
      }
    }
  }
}

import { ApiClient } from "@mondaydotcomorg/api";

const mondayApiClient = new ApiClient({ token: myToken });

const query = `
  query($itemIds: [ID!], $columnType: [ColumnType!]) {
    items(ids: $itemIds) {
      id
      column_values(types: $columnType) {
        column { title id }
        ... on LastUpdatedValue {
          updated_at
          updater_id
        }
      }
    }
  }
`;

const variables = {
  itemIds: [9571351485, 9572374902],
  columnType: "last_updated"
};

const response = await mondayApiClient.request(query, variables);

Fields

You can use the following fields to specify what information your LastUpdatedValue implementation will return.

Field	Description
column `Column!`	The column the value belongs to.
id `ID!`	The column's unique identifier.
text `String`	The column's value as text.
type `ColumnType!`	The column's type.
updated_at `Date`	The column's last updated date.
updater `User!`	The user who last updated the item.
updater_id `ID!`	The unique identifier of the user who last updated the item.
value `JSON`	The column's JSON-formatted raw value.

Filter

You can filter items by their last updated information using the items_page object.

Even if the last updated column is not visible on the board, you can filter by last updated metadata using __last_updated__ as the column_id.

You can filter items by:

Who last updated them
When they were last updated

👍
The results depend on the timezone, date format, and first day of the week settings configured in the monday.com profile of the user making the API call.

Examples

Filter by today's updates

This example returns all items last updated today, even if the board does not have a visible last updated column.

query {
  boards(ids: 1234567890) {
    items_page(
      query_params: {
        rules: [
          {
            column_id: "__last_updated__"
            compare_value: ["TODAY"]
            operator: any_of
            compare_attribute: "UPDATED_AT"
          }
        ]
      }
    ) {
      items {
        id
        name
      }
    }
  }
}

const query = `
  query ($boardId: [ID!], $columnId: ID!, $operator: ItemsQueryRuleOperator!, $compareValue: CompareValue!, $compareAttribute: String!) {
    boards(ids: $boardId) {
      items_page(
        query_params: {
          rules: [
            {
              column_id: $columnId,
              compare_value: $compareValue,
              compare_attribute: $compareAttribute,
              operator: $operator
            }
          ]
        }
      ) {
        items { id name }
      }
    }
  }
`;

const variables = {
  boardId: 9571351437,
  columnId: "__last_updated__",
  compareValue: ["TODAY"],
  compareAttribute: "UPDATED_AT",
  operator: "any_of"
};

const response = await mondayApiClient.request(query, variables);

Filter by who last updated an item

This example returns all items last updated by user 123456.

query {
  boards(ids: 1234567890) {
    items_page(
      query_params: {
        rules: [
          {
            column_id: "__last_updated__"
            compare_value: ["person-123456"]
            operator: any_of
          }
        ]
      }
    ) {
      items {
        id
        name
      }
    }
  }
}

const query = `
  query ($boardId: [ID!], $columnId: ID!, $operator: ItemsQueryRuleOperator!, $compareValue: CompareValue!) {
    boards(ids: $boardId) {
      items_page(
        query_params: {
          rules: [
            { column_id: $columnId, compare_value: $compareValue, operator: $operator }
          ]
        }
      ) {
        items { id name }
      }
    }
  }
`;

const variables = {
  boardId: 9571351437,
  columnId: "__last_updated__",
  compareValue: ["person-123456"],
  operator: "any_of"
};

const response = await mondayApiClient.request(query, variables);
