We have tried everything, pushing feeds, setting up fields in "document dates" screen to enable all documents in the index to contain a value for Last-modified date. Nothing seems to make documents retain a "last-modified date" in the index.

How does one enable a last-modified date for all documents in the index?

Note: the meta value will come from an external xml source (not a database).

Followed the google instructions for our gsa version (6.4.0.G.22).

Yes I know the GSA version is quite old, we've been told by our google-representative support team themselves, that updating the GSA to the latest version "should" resolve the problem, and by "should" I mean, their GSA did the same thing (no last-modified date) and updating our GSA is another can of worms story :)

Official answer this seems to be a bug and your best bet is to talk with Google directly.

However while the last modified date doesn't show up in the crawl diagnostics of an individual page, the date can be returned through the XML feed using the &getfields=* attribute.

You should see <FS NAME="date" VALUE="xxx-xx-xx" /> element under each <R> element.
