I would like to be able to manually change the date of when I added a media file to the database. Especially following a [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064).

Is there a way to do this without having to manually edit the database offline, which I do not want to do? And, If not can there be?

I would actually like to advocate some sort of interface upgrade or paid add-on or whatever to be able to manually edit/change literally any field record associated with a media item.

Nope, only way is to edit the db directly. For some reason they have not added this after years of threads related to it.

Its not actually that complicated when you get use to it so if it’s important too you then I’d suggest playing around with it.
