How can I change the file's last modified date

Question

How can I change the file's last modified date using the Document List Api? Is this possible? Google Drive client somehow does it!

Solution

Try to use files.touch

Set the file's updated time to the current server time.

This can only set it to the current date.

Perhaps they want to set it to a date in the past rather than the present date.
