Show Date/Time Task Completed

This is important to me in some cases.

I often use the shortcut  Ctrl  ;  to create a date time stamp  2021-06-05 11:03 AM  to log in an action such as a follow-up call in the text of the note. I also use it when I need to document the closure of a topic.

 

For Windows version

Agreed, this would be a useful addition. @jbenson2 provides a workaround, but it's an extra workflow step compared to EN automatically capturing the completion date/time.

There are third party apps that will do this, but, they are a significant security risk as they have access to everything you type and view, not just Evernote and the stuff you type into it. For a note-taking app, a date time stamp seems like a no-brainer.

Show Date/Time Task Completed

Looking at the task attributes (exported to .enex file)
I see taskStatus 
date/time completed is not stored but we have date/time  statusUpdated

I would think that the most recent updated timestamp (it looks like that'd be statusUpdated) could serve the same purpose, but that's thrown off if you fix a typo in a completed task or something.

Hopefully EN is considering some way to capture the completed date/time.
