Why do Illustrator files always have the same creation and modification date (and hour)? Also when I created the file the day before, the creation date will changed when I save it. Thanks

Hi, I updated Illustrator and Bridge to 24.1.2 but the issue still remain the same. When I open an existing file, and after few modification I save it, Illustrator change the creation date to match the file modification date.

Thanks for checking that, Luca. I will pass it on our Product team. Actually there are two different issues that are being discussed on this UserVoice page. which created the confusion. Issue with Home Screen sorting is resolved.

I would suggest that if you could create a new UserVoice thread and share it here.

Regards!

I see that Adobe is aware of this Creation Date getting changed to Modification Date issue since 2020. I'm still experiencing this same problem May 1, 2021 with the latest 25.2.3.

Creation Date is important because it shows when the project started. No other software I have does this everytime!

Same issue in Bridge 2020. Bridge only shows the date of Illustrator file.

But, if I duplicate an Illustrator file in Bridge and in Bridge I save it the creation date still remain the original, so probably is an Illutrator 2020 bug (also in 2019).
