Hi,
If not mapped, modify-/create-date will be set to $TIMESTAMP$ if you are
replacing or creating new records. If you are "updating old record with
new data", the timestamps will be left intact.
All system/required core-fields will need a value when stored in the
database. On updates, they allready have values.
