Same problem! The creation date is important to keep track of when I started working on that artwork!

It is imperative for copyrighting purposes that an original illustration creation date is saved somewhere in the metadata regardless of future tweaks to said illustration which are SAVED AS in the same file name, hence changing the origination date.

I'm using an iMac, OS Catalina, and Adobe Illustrator 2021 V25.1, the latest version as of this writing. I'm finding that when I modify an Illustrator file, when saved it changes the Date Created file date. Why is this happening? I need these creation dates! For example, I created a file, and then saved a png of the file, the next day I opened the same Illustrator file, and when closing the file the finder window shows that the Date Created and Date Modified have been changed are the same, yet the png created the day before shows the correct Created Date.

This problem still occurs. I have the latest version of Illustrator 24.3 on a MacBook Pro 16 inch 2019 with macOS Catalina 10.15.6. Date created changes everytime I modify a document along with Date modified and Date added. The only thing that changes is Date last opened.

Hope you have a solution for this.

Experiencing the same issue with the Illustrator version 24.2.1, on Mac OS 10.13.6.

Que cuando le doy a imprimir, me sale otra pantalla diciendo que el programa se a cerrado inesperadamente, y no me deja imprimir, que puedo hacer, gracias

I have the same problem: Illustrator files always have the same creation and modification date (and hour)? Also when I created the file the day before, the creation date will changed when I save it. Thanks

Now that I've updated to Illustrator 24.0, the "date created" on my file changes when I make changes to the file. The original "date created" date/time keeps changing to the same date as he "date modified" date/time. The "date added" is also doing the same thing.

I'm on a Mac using macOS Catalina 10.15.1, but it's doing the same thing for my coworkers who are using earlier macOS versions.

The Home Screen lists recent files sorted by "last modified" even when those files have not been modified.

The list actually shows the files which were last *viewed* (or last closed), regardless of whether the file has been modified.

It would be useful to have both these options, but the current situation is wrong and misleading.
