    Dynamic change of createDate on Nodes from CMS?

    Hello,

    We usually migrate customers old websites from other/older systems to Umbraco.

    The problem comes when we want to move the news articles, and want to keep the old publish dates intact.

    Is it possible to change the creatDate frpm the CMS, or do we need to use SQL Management Studio?

    Or is there any other way to solve this? Maybe another field to use?

    Hi Kalle

    Use the CreateDateTime property of the Document object to modify the DateTime 

    document.CreateDateTime = yourDateTimeObject;

    If you use CMSImport for the import you can map directly against the old site datetime field.

    Hope this helps you,

    Richard
