This function overrides the modification editing tracking value for an existing feature. ArcGIS for AutoCAD modification tracking automatically records when feature attributes or geometry of a non-new feature has been modified. AutoLISP functions (esri_webfeaturelayer_pausetracking) and (esri_webfeaturelayer_restoretracking) can be used within a drawing session to pause and restore this tracking. This function can set the modification tracking value regardless of its current value or the modification tracking state. The modification value will be used to determine if a feature will be updated during synchronization.
Syntax
(esri_webFeaturelayer_setModified flname feature_ename modified)

(T)Return values
The following are the possible return values:

Failed return values can occur for any of the following reasons:
- (nil ("Error" . "Missing required
argument."))
One of the required arguments was not supplied.
- (nil ("Error" . "Feature layer not
found."))
The specified feature layer value is not a valid feature layer in the drawing.
