It would be nice to have in the drop down to remove it from the recently added list in case I’m just changing my library around. My users are confused as to why old movies are showing up again as n…

> Add a Date Added field to the edit section of any media file. There’s “Originally Available” but nothing for Date Added that is easy to adjust within Plex Media Server. The only current way to do this is to use an sql database editor. Attempting this on a headless ubuntu server is nearly impossible.
