Creation or alteration date

Hi, Is there currently a way, or could there be one in the future, that allows one to see when an item was created and or last altered? It would be especially helpful to people like me who sometimes create items and then let them go fallow and can't recall when it was from. Or for people, also me, who accidentally forget that they've already created an item and want to know which of the duplicates is most recent. Thanks as always for an awesome tool that keeps getting better.

  Hi Jason,

  Indeed... we'd like to include a "created" date besides the "last-changed" stamp we already have :-). It's on our wish list...

  Please, please do this. Not remembering when a bullet was created (after I've altered it and the time stamp gets changed) is super problematic quite often.

  I also would find this useful.  The "last modified" date for me is frequently not particularly helpful, because I am continually modifying/editing my to-do lists.  @Frank, is this timestamp stored already and just not accessible, or is this not even stored in whatever db Workflowy uses?

  Hi Sean, 

  It may be the former. We have this on our wish list :-)

  I'm interested in using Workflowy for my notes, but not being able to see creation dates is holding me back... I'd love to see this feature!

  Fyi, there's another thread of requests for this here:

  +1, exposing the last-modification date to the user would be super helpful. Workflowy could show it on the side by each bullet. It'd be great if each node showed the most recent modification of any of its children, so that modification dates "bubble up" to the top level nodes.
