I wanted to created a column in a project for entered Date, the date when the task was created. How do you go about doing that?

Hi @Tom_Crandall and welcome to the Forum! 👋🏾

If you are in a Premium Plan, you can run an Advanced Search to look for tasks in a particular Project (or in general) filtered by a specific creation date or created within the last X days. I’m attaching two screenshots illustrating the steps.

Additionally, you can see the task creation date in the task story.

I hope this helps Tom! Please let me know if you have any follow-up question!

Is there a way to add creation date as a column in the task view?

Not at the moment @Tom_Crandall. If you wish to, you can cast your vote in the following thread: [Add Creation Date as a Field](https://forum.asana.com/t/add-creation-date-as-a-field/74000)

Have a nice day!

@Tom_Crandall, You might find this alternative solution helpful in your case:

>
> @Zuad_Oropeza1, You can see a Creation Date column, and any other columns configured as you like, using [Asana2Go](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/asana2go/meaajmlecpkbjcofehfpjngpnpfpjlkd): In the video, go to the 3:50 mark to see Creation Date specifically. Hope that might help, Larry
