As an API user, I want to always have an update date for the DOIs

[tloubrieu-jpl]

Motivation

Currently when a DOI has been created but never updated, the update date is not available. In this case we want to have the update date equal to the creation date.

Additional Details

Acceptance Criteria

Given a newly created DOI (e.g. reserved)
When I perform get /dois/
Then I expect to see a valid update date, the update date should be equal to the creation date in this case.

Engineering Details

I think this should be implemented from the creation of the doi when the transaction is recorded in the database.

@c-suh @collinss-jpl is it still an issue, I am not seeing a problem with update dates in the latest development of Catherine ?

@tloubrieu-jpl I don't know if this satisfies the ticket? Searching by doi or lid as a query parameter will give update_date[1][2]. Searching as a path variable will give the creation_date (no update_date) and XML record[3]

@tloubrieu-jpl This issue is still open from my perspective. I've found a number of issues with how creation/update times are being handled by the DOI service and I'm testing out fixes currently. Unfortunately I don't think I'll have the branch ready for review before we close out this sprint, but its close to being complete.

@c-suh , @collinss-jpl Ok, sounds good, thanks.

So maybe the request 3 should also return the update_date.

@collinss-jpl found a consistent way to manage the update date. He is now testing that. That should be ready for review today.
