That is one feature that I used all of the time. As it is now, I do a CTRL-D followed by CTRL-M at the top of the note as suggested, but I would prefer an option to have it done automatically. There is one guaranteed monotonic variable and that is time. Anyway, I can live without it -- but would find it very convenient.

I absolutely agree with this.

Thanks for the response. I never thought of that. Good point. I will definitely use it.



The above effort to check note properties requires time and effort, though. I'd still like to ask that you consider an auto date stamp option on the bottom of every new note.



Minor correction: Ctl-D is apparently the date stamp shortcut. Ctl-M stamps time.

Each note has a Creation date attribute. You can see it using right-click on a Note in the left-hand hierarchy tree -> Properties -> Item Info...



Also you can stamp date using keyboard shortcut Ctrl+M

When I create a new note, I'd like the note to be date stamped, preferably on the bottom, below my note text. This would help me know when I first met someone, or was first made aware of a new company, product, website, or whatever.



Please consider adding this feature to AMN
