Hi Asha,

UpdateDate is a technical attribute that stands for an actual database update, which is not the case for a parent record when one of its child records is updated.

My proposal to answer your needs would be to display a calculated field on your forms and collections, that will use a lookup expression. This could look like this:

lookup
    max UpdateDate
    from <child_entity_role>
end

I hope this helps.
