Hi, as titled. I've had creation date and modification date as columns for a long time but I just noticed a few days ago that now creation date is not showing the time of day. I didn't see anything in the editing of the column to indicate a change. Any hints? Thanks -

Please show us your current definition for the "Create" column.

The Value should look like this  
`%_file_create_datetime%`

and shows (depending on your local Windows date time settings)

If you only use `%_file_create_date%` you won't see the time 😉
