ENG FUEL FILTER

We got a momentary ENG FUEL FILTER eicas on our 767 two days ago after thrust reduction during a cruise climb at FL320.

Did all the good stuff by advising MOC in good time to make a plan, 5 hours to destination.

While reviewing the tech log for the same aircraft this morning I discovered that the only work recorded on my log entry was, Status msg cleared, found satis.

The next flight after mine, they got the same warning during climb out after take off. Fuel filter was changed at destination, NY, before further flight.

My query is,after 8 yrs flying this and the 757 I have never seen this EICAS and was surprised that maintenance did not immediately change the fuel filter.

Is there a standard maintenance procedure for this? Is it usual to just clear a status msg for something like this?

I would be interested to hear from engineers as well as crew on this.
Merry Christmas
