Thanks so much Eric. Though changing the create date could be manipulated
for misleading purposes in certain shared-responsibility situations, it
will be occasionally very helpful in cases like mine.

Ciao Eric
Very useful notes you wrote to springer!
I increasingly get interested in date handling in TW. Mainly because
"created" can be used elegantly to solve a bunch of practical end-user
issues.
For instance - "created" (once manipulated) can be used to identify things
well (TV script

end-user gets them. It deals with legacy. Further additions are
contemporary.
The main issue is doing it reliably. Not so easy. and on that I fully agree

I concur with mario. Both created and modified can be used to drive a
