There are some older threads on this topic and I would like to know if there is any news on this.

It’s easy to filter for `_modified` timestamps when I ask for collections, and I thought this would work the same way with singletons. But there is no `_modified` when I retrieve data via the REST API from singletons.

What can I do to determine if there have been changes to a singleton.

I tried to recreate this with v2 and get the \_modified field.
