BUG: newCreatedDate and newModifiedDate are not readable
Hi Kim,
Place this code in a script method:
console.log (item.newCreatedDate, typeof item.newCreatedDate, app.formatDate(item.newCreatedDate, "yyyy-mm-dd") );
You should get results like:
2026-03-15 18:50:18, string, 2026-03-15
Instead, Aren 4.20 yields:
, string, 0000-00-00
The same defect also occurs for newModifiedDate.
(And (new)Access date is not available at all?! )
This is a problem when the dates are changed by previous batch methods and you don't want your JS step to trash that work.
For example: https://www.advancedrenamer.com/forum_thread/using-date-of-a nother-file-in-batch-17096
(And also a one-off situation that I had a few months ago).
Please make newCreatedDate and newModifiedDate readable as well as writable.
Adding newAccessedDate would be nice too.
Thanks,
Randy
