Field last_change date is not updated in some cases

[ZloyChert]

Field last_changed is not updated in following cases with repro steps:

1st case:
Somebody makes any changes to translations in git and pulls/rebase them in component (or any of maintenance functions), last_changed field is not updated.

2nd case:
Somebody createы new component from file in git - last_changed is null. After that, somebody adds new translaiton in that component from weblate UI - last_changed is still null.
Please, see attached screenshot for that case (you can see, that total field changed, but last_changed didn't)

I'm using this endpoint: https://docs.weblate.org/en/latest/api.html#get--api-translations-(string-project)-(string-component)-(string-language)-statistics-

Expected behavior
last_changed property is updated with every change.
Also, since there is no property created_date, last_changed can be set after creating.

Weblate version is 4.7.1

That field currently indicates last change within Weblate, it does not reflect outside changes.

Seems, like there is no reason to expose that field, since it is meaningless for api user and reflects unknown internal processes

It indicates when the translation was changed in Weblate. It's not meaningless for everybody if you don't have use for this information.

4.8.1 same problem.
We update texts via git (do some branch merging) and field is not updated :(

[nijel]

Field is updated exactly as intended - both last_change and last_author indicate last edit in Weblate. It behaves this way since ever.

See #5726 for related issue.
