2.269 .real_modified

This attribute indicates whether the content (.content) of an edittext or a poptext has been modified since the object has received the focus.

With the datetime object, this attribute indicates whether the attribute .value has been modified since the object received the focus.

The attribute can be queried for visible objects (.real_visible = true) only.

With the edittext and the datetime object, this attribute is set to false when a value is assigned to the .content attribute.

The poptext supports this attribute with the styles .style = edittext and .style = listbox only.
