"Date created" changes to "date modified" for Illustrator files created in Ai 2020 on macOS Mojave.

[Luca27111967]

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

Under Windows that problem doesn't exist, sorry.

[Luca27111967]

Do you mean that the problem will be on Mac Os bug?

[Luca27111967]

I tried to save a file with Illustrator CS6, the creation date does not change: no problem with CS6

Adobe Bridge does not seem to forget the creation date.

[Luca27111967]

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).

[Ton Frederiks]

Get Info in the Mac Finder give the same modify/creation date, but Bridge remembers the Creation date.

macOS Mojave 10.14.6

[Luca27111967]

I thought (and on my Mac is like this) Mac Finder and Bridge shows the same modify/creation date, isn’t it?

Where Bridge remenber the creation date?

macOS Mojave 10.14.6

[Ton Frederiks]

Where Bridge remenber the creation date?

In the Metadata.

[Luca27111967]

very strange, why Bridge and Finder don't shows the same thing? On mine they shows the same.

I attached an example, this draw was not created in one second.

"I attached an example, this draw was not created in one second."

I don't think I could draw that fast 🙂

It looks like we have the same mac System version, Bridge version and Illustrator version (24.0.3). Maybe someone else has a good idea?

Hi,

Thank you for your time and patience. We have tried to address this issue in our latest build of 24.1.2. If you are not already on v 24.1.2, then we recommend you to update to latest version and let us know how it goes. 

Regards,

Srishti

[Luca27111967]

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.

Regards, Luca

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!

[Dagur5FDB]

Any news on this subject? I addressed this problem in late 2020 and again in January last year if I remember correctly. Today I am working with the latest version 26.0.1 and this problem still exists. 

Hope 2022 will be the year with the solution!

I'm on AI 27.4.1 (aka 2020) and issue remains. It's maddening trying to keep track of original creation and modified dates. Adding to the confusion is "Content created" which is cryptic and I presume indicated the very first time the content was created. However it is some 2 months after "Modified"! Am on Big Sur 11.5.2

Here's another file adding to the confusion:

Content created is earlier than Created, compared to the file above.
