[Evergreen-reports] Last status date vs last edit date

[Rogan Hamby]

Stuart is correct.  To expand just a bit any change to the copy will change
the last edit including many things that wouldn't affect inventory such as
changing the price of the copy (not that that is done much but it's the
first thing that popped to mind).  A good percentage of the time the two
will be the same as the statuses are what changes most on the copies but
those few times that they are different can be really, really annoying if
you're looking at the one copy where a staff member did change the price
from the incorrect $159.50 to correct $15.95.

That field is called Copy Status Changed Time and you can find it in the
item and serials sources in the reporter.
