Hi,

Thank you for you feedback.

Could you please tell me why you need know the creation time?

Sometimes I would add a task in a rush and not detail it out enough to remember what it was about later. When I come around to it later, the creation date can indicate to me whether the task is still relevant.

I agree very much with this request. It would be very useful even if the task was not written in a rush. It is simply difficult to remember. The age of the tasks gives a good indication of how important it is to get it done quickly, or follow up on it.

Example 1. I meet someone and promise them to send something "as soon as I have time", so I write it down as an action, and the task obviously has no deadline. I then forget about the task, and forget when I wrote it. If I could know for sure that it has been sitting there for two weeks I could manually increase the priority to red in one of my morning reviews in order to notice it more easily, or even tentatively mark it for Today.

Example 2: I ask someone to do something, and I write it down as a Waiting For. I then forget when I wrote it. If I could see see when I asked them to do it I can determine more easily if it would be unpolite of me to push them a bit.

In fact, having these dates is so important to me that I try to remember to write them down manually (within brackets in the task name). The problem is I often forget to do this, especially if I do not foresee the task staying on my list for very long. But then they sometimes stay much longer ...

It would be perfect to have this done automatically. It would save me a lot of hassle.

I, too, very much would like to see the task creation date.
Other GTD apps store and display this automatically.
Like one of the other responders, I try to add the date manually to the task title, but it's a hassle.

Hi,

I vote for this feature too. It's mandatory when you delegate tasks.

Any update on this?

This is an important core feature, that should be simple enough to implement soon.

@shoanm @Folke We will take this feature into account. Thanks.

Although it does not add in the feature, here's how you can find out when a task was created or last updated.
1) Open todo.im in Chrome
2) Select the task in question so you see it in your main page
3) Hit ctrl + shift + i to open up Chrome develop tools (you can also right click anywhere on the page and click "Inspect")
4) Click on the "Console" tab
3a) Paste this in and hit enter to get the date and time the task was created:
new Date(angular.element(angular.element(document.getElementsByClassName('task-view'))[0]).scope().task.created)

3b) Paste this in and hit enter to get the date and time the task was last updated:
new Date(angular.element(angular.element(document.getElementsByClassName('task-view'))[0]).scope().task.updated)

@wilkgide Thanks! Worked great
