%date created% as you showed in the dump, is most likely a user-defined field. Please refer to the [help on supported fields](https://docs.mp3tag.de/mapping) and for [property variables.](https://docs.mp3tag.de/format/#export) I assume that you refer to `%_file_create_date%` ---

> [@ohrenkino](#): > > %\_file\_create\_date% yes i'm trying to use %\_file\_create\_date% so that it shows the date of creation. ---

Then enter > [@dp19](#): > > %\_file\_create\_date% as value. Leave "field" empty as this property cannot be written. ---

> [@dp19](#): > > i saw nothing in help on the link you provided for date I actually supplied 2 links: 1 for the help section on supported fields 2 for the variables for export where you can also export a number of properties. There you find the date. ---
