I see the documentation clearly says the Get File/Folder Date action retrieves the Last Modified Date.  
  
What if I need the Creation Date on a file, is it possible to get that?

Hi Katie,   
  
 To get the creation date of a file you would need to write a custom action script through Action Studio.
