https://community.esri.com/t5/arcmap-questions/date-of-creation-in-attribute-table/m-p/1562660#M4990 <P>Hi. I have a layer containing a bunch of points. I'd like to add a field in the attribute table that automatically displays the date each point was created.&nbsp; I've tried adding date-field in many ways but but I just can't make it work. I'm using ArcGIS desktop 20.8.2. Please help</P> Tue, 26 Nov 2024 15:01:48 GMT AndersKMG 2024-11-26T15:01:48Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcmap-questions/date-of-creation-in-attribute-table/m-p/1562660#M4990 <P>Hi.

This would allow the creation date to be filled in when a user adds a feature.</P><P><A href="https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/manage-data/editing-fundamentals/enabling-editor-tracking.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/manage-data/editing-fundamentals/enabling-editor-tracking.htm</A></P><P>This will only add the creation date for the items that are added after this is enabled though, it may not add the previous historical additions.</P><P>Cody</P> Tue, 26 Nov 2024 15:04:33 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcmap-questions/date-of-creation-in-attribute-table/m-p/1562662#M4991 CodyPatterson 2024-11-26T15:04:33Z
