Josiah, I concur with mario. Both created and modified can be used to drive a number of processes and systems and should not be played with as it compromises the wiki.
Using a date picker or allowing time stamping a value into another date field can make this so easy. You can even add the additional date field creation to your new tiddler process, or initially do a bulk copy of created date to your new date field to get started. For example, My new journal process adds a new-journal-date to every journal tiddler to allow any title format to be used, but there is a always a reliable date field. If I want to enter an entry for a past date I change the title and new-journal-date not the created date. To keep the information that tells me that journal entry was created before or after the date it relates to is potentially helpful at a future point in time. For example I could determine how often I get to make a journal entry on the actual date, if created date = journal-date, or pre-dated and post dated entries. It is not worth the potential loss to damage the integrity of the created date. - Look at my use of edit-text widget here https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!searchin/tiddlywiki/html$20types%7Csort:date/tiddlywiki/4aCyZ3FAq9U/todMTtt-AgAJ - If you use a non standard tiddlywiki date you will find the recently published date macro by SS helpful see the end of the thread for updates https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!topic/tiddlywiki/_bbDpiiReic - or get http://kixam.github.io/TW5-datePicker/ - or make a button that uses the now macro to set a field to now and use the full serial number date. - Or add an action to a new tiddler button to create your date field Regards Tony On Monday, April 8, 2019 at 5:58:27 PM UTC+10, @TiddlyTweeter wrote: > > I want to manipulate creation times so that filters will work to produce a > correct date ordering for a CV via filters in the simplest fashion. > > This means editing the creation field so the date matches the actual CV > entry dates. > > How can I do that in way I'm not having to figure out a very long number? > > All I need is to change date, times can be left.
