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.  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

Hey @AndersKMG 

Would it be possible to add editor tracking on this feature layer? This would allow the creation date to be filled in when a user adds a feature.

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.
