I can tell you what the great benefit of a creation date is, or actually a "since" date - a date which tells me how long a task has been sitting on the list with being completed.

On the Next list I have many actions. Some are quite new and are important or urgent and I normally do these quickly. Some tasks are not so urgent or important and may have been sitting on the list for a long time. This is usually not wrong, because it often takes quite some time until I decide to batch up and do a handful of tasks that all need to be done in that particular location (some distant suburb, for example) or which require the assistance of some particular person, or require some unusual tool etc.

But the long time could also be a sign of me having done something wrong. I may have overlooked the task accidentally, perhaps because I had worded it unclearly or perhaps had not broken it down properly into subtasks or made a proper project of it etc. The age of the task then helps me determine whether I need to edit the task somehow, or whether I can safely leave it as it is until I happen to be in the right circumstances to get it done (which is what I had originally intended to happen). I can also use the date itself to trigger a special review of the task or project to see if I need to change something in order to make it move forward.

On the Waiting list (the "People Owe Me" list; someone else's next actions) it is the same thing. The "since" date tells me how long I have been waiting for a particular report or quotation, or have been waiting for a payment from someone, or waiting for someone to return a pair of rubber boots. If the time is too long I may have to consider reminding them or finding alternatives etc.

Even om the Maybe list (Someday/Maybe) the date serves a similar function. Some of the Maybes are wild and dreamy and may have been sitting there for years. The "since" date can help me decide to clear some of them out when I see them.

I find the since date to be so useful that I write it down manually today. It is worth the effort, I think. I feel much safer with it. It would definitely be very nice to have this date filled in automatically by the app. It usually coincides with the creation date, of course, but not always. For example, for a task that has been "scheduled" it is actually the start date that is the relevant "since date" (because I do not need to know when the data record as such was actually written. I want to know since when I have done nothing to get the task done). Another exception is when I reuse a task to minimize typing - when the task is complete, instead of checking it off I reuse it for another task that has the same contexts, labels, similar wording etc. In those cases I would like to be able to manually reset the "since date", usually to today's date.

I think I have already written a suggestion about such a "since date" on this forum.

I support the need to automatically display the date and time of the task, it is very convenient. Now I have to write the date of creation of the task in the comments manually. If you do kind of like Evernote to be very good.
This is in your plans?

Yes, many ways are possible, and I would be happy for any good automatic solution (with a manual editing capability).

One interesting way would be to simply use the scheduled date - if this date is a past date it means the task has been available for action since this date. If the date is a future date it means it is scheduled. This approach would open the doors for many other future innovations (e.g. scheduling actions of all types - next, waiting, inbox etc)
