Sharepoint Library Created and Modified Dates
Hello.
I have a question about Files Created dates and retention Policies.
If when i create my site y upload lots of files to a library at the same time, the file created date shows as the date the file was loaded - if there is a Retention policy applied that is to keep the file (for exmaple) 5 years, if i cannot modify the Created field on the library to show the correct date, how will the policy work correctly then?
is there a way to change the Created Date (without having to ad a new column for every library)
thank you

Hi,
Is there a legal requirement to use the created date and not the modified date?
You may want to consider using tools that retain the original create/modify date.Paul | SLIM Applications

You can use the rest endpoint
api/web/getfilebyserverrelativeurl('<absolute path to document>')/listitemallfields/ValidateUpdateListItem()to update fields like "created" and "created by"
This works great from Power Automate- claire2020Copper Contributor
How can I apply this for updating the Created with another date field, i.e. Fieldname Created - Field Value WFCreated - my flow like this runs successfully but the outputs have an error message "
"Enter a date and time like this: 23/02/2012 14:25" - I'm a novice at http, but I guess I need to convert the timezone, but have no idea how to do this?
