Try adding another dateTime field where you would store the timestamp of when you updated your specific information?
I'd probably leave the actual updated_at field as it can sometimes come in handy down the line.

I am trying to add a date to a form that shows when only specific fields are edited. I can display the updated_at date , but that changes when any edit is made and only need it to change when certain fields are updated and remain the same if not. I am brand new to using Laravel and any help would be appreciated.
