When looking at a part in the catalog, we can see the Years Released (first thing
under Item Info.) I had always thought that that span of years was based on
the earliest and latest years that that part had been in any set in any color.
I also thought that when an inventory is approved and shows up in the catalog,
the span of years is updated immediately, but maybe that's not the case.

Today I noticed that the inventory for
 
Set No: 10979  Name: Wild Animals of Europe
* 
10979-1 (Inv) Wild Animals of Europe
86 Parts, 2022
Sets: DUPLO
was just added. That set includes the following part:
 
Part No: 11344  Name: Duplo, Brick 2 x 3 x 2 Slope Curved
* 
11344 Duplo, Brick 2 x 3 x 2 Slope Curved
Parts: DUPLO, Brick
The Wild Animals of Europe set is a new one from 2022. Since that set includes
part 11344, shouldn't the Years Released info automatically update to show
the most recent year being 2022? It currently shows 2019.

The years released gets updated once a day during daily maintenance. It does
not update in real time.

That explains why today it now says 2022 as the most recent year for that part.
Thanks!
