Description

The old function `mod_forum_get_forum_discussion_posts` does return the attribute `modified` for every post (See here https://github.com/moodle/moodle/blob/149fdcf075fdf816b9e83f59e02a5ef20fa998fe/mod/forum/externallib.php#L468). But the new function `mod_forum_get_discussion_posts` does not (see here https://github.com/moodle/moodle/blob/a411b499b98afc9901c24a9466c7e322946a04aa/mod/forum/classes/local/exporters/post.php#L92).

Is that intended? Why is there the possibility to sort by last modified, but you don't get the attribute back? How else can you get this attribute?
