    Is there a way I can change or modify the createon date for a document? I can change the pub_date (Published On), but I never saw a place where I could change the date a document was created (like an override).

    I’m finding that I’m displaying and sorting a lot of my content by the createdon date since it, and not the pub_date, is always there. However, I’d like the option to easily (without digging into the datebase through phpMyAdmin) override that date if I need to, since some of the pre-existing MODx sample date has much older dates.

    I did a search on this, but didn’t find anyone asking this question.

      Actually it has been asked before, and no, there is no feature to do that.

        I believe the Doc Manager module will do this.
