# Objective
Make `last_changed` behave as described in its docs.
## Solution
- Return `changed` instead of `last_change_tick`. `last_change_tick` is the system's previous tick and is just used for comparison.
- Update the docs of the similarly named `set_last_changed` (which does correctly interact with `last_change_tick`) to clarify that the two functions touch different data. (I advocate for renaming one or the other if anyone has any good suggestions).
It also might make sense to return a cloned `Tick` instead of `u32`.
---
## Changelog
- Fixed `DetectChanges::last_changed` returning the wrong value.
- Fixed `DetectChangesMut::set_last_changed` not actually updating the `changed` tick.
## Migration Guide
- The incorrect value that was being returned by `DetectChanges::last_changed` was the previous run tick of the system checking for changed values. If you depended on this value, you can get it from the `SystemChangeTick` `SystemParam` instead.
