Setting Creation Time

[thomaskilian]

Hi,
according to the documentation Created and Modified are both Read/Write. However, when changing these values EA does not seem to overwrite the contents. It just keeps the time stamp as of the effective moment. I will report that as bug too.

Here's the code:
my $cc = $pk->Elements->AddNew ("test", "Component");
my $var = Variant(VT_DATE, "12.12.1990 12:12:12");
$cc->{Created} = $var;
$cc->{Modified} = $var;
$cc->Update;

P.S. I remember from a far away past some option to allow manual change of dates. But I could not find that.

I stumbled over this just the other day, and kept puzzling over whether it had moved.

Tools | Options | Diagram; its named Allow change of Created Date.

Ah yes. There it is. Why is it in Diagram Sparxians, when will you find the time to make a CLEAN option page. The current layout resembles so much my desktop

However, it didn't change anything setting that option.

Which (sadly) resembles my desktop...

Got a reply from Sparx: It's a known bug. No ETA
