thx, great idea - however applicable only for new notes, not applicable for thousand of notes I already have (if I do not want to spend so much time by reprocessing them all) so, yes - there can be applied many workarounds and temporary fixes to patch issues done by designers. But this make sense only when you believe that it will be fixed. To be honest I do not believe any more. I found these issues pointed years ago and answered as not important/minor. I hoped that I missed some invisible efficient ways just and somebody shows me where they are. No, what I see now is even worse - there are terrible design decisions layered one after another and I do not think it will be magically reversed. For some free, one time paid software I can understand it. For the subscription based service - there is only one way how to say it is not adequate I think - stop buying it.

I see chronological order of the notes as really essential need - when I add older notes I need to be able sort them chronologically and it is not possible by date somewhere in the scanned document. I have to transfer it to the metadata of the note manually. Field Create date makes sense - it is real date of the document creation. I'm adding documents in batches regularly so manual update of the Creation date is a must for me. Create date is major order criterium in all my notebooks. When I look for the older note I limit search also by the date range to minimize the matches. It is really needed when number of notes rise to thousands.

So question is, if it make sense to expect that these terrible design decisions will be corrected in a reasonable timeframe? Switch off of Legacy version at the moment of main application in such a non-functional state does not seems to me as a rational decision. Legacy application gave me some time to live with it but now there is no functional option for me. Stopping subscription and switching to Obsidian. Not sure if there will be way back - I postponed it as much as possible and it was mistake

Wow, It hurts. I have used paid Evernote from 2009 and built a solid workflow there. I don't want to switch, really. But if I will not be able to use it anymore ...

thanks, it definitely helps but by a tinny step - who the hell designed this? It seems to me like work of group of elementary school graduates with zero UI design experience If I need year 1946 I will have to click and select 9 times (by 8 years each time). So I planned to scan my family history documents and archive them same way as all the others I have in Evernote already. But if I understand it well now it is not achievable anymore. It is technically impossible - do this setting one by one for all the documents take me months of clicking. I see requests for simple entering/managing create date on forum for years already. So am I really only another exotic user requiring from note system ability to manipulate with create date efficiently? Please help anybody - is there any other way how to achieve it without hundreds of clicks?

I have tens of imported PDF documents where I need to correct create date of note to reflect document crate date. In Legacy version it is simple task - change of displayed date to create date and document by document click on date field and input date. In new version I have to click to note menu, select information details, click the date and then list through the calendar - if change is in years it means tens of click by months for each document). No chance to simply input date. There was presented many times already that new version is fully functional replacement for legacy version. I have about 80 documents actually for processing - how should I achieve it in new version without thousands of clicks? I do this regularly - when I scan documents from the past (birth list of my mother) I want to set create date for 80 years in the past. How should I do this now?
