Modify Attachment Date and Creator

Scott Spyrison

Hello,

Has anyone had success modifying an attachment's creator or creation date property?

I have been experimenting with both UWC and UDMF, but so far those only seem to work on pages and page comments.

I would welcome any suggestions, tips or pointers. I am also investigating the confluence database schema to see if it presents any possibilities.

You could do a SQL update on the attachments table. Remember to shutdown confluence first, do SQL update, then start confluence and make sure you have a full SQL backup before you statr

The table is the attachments table

https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=179439242

You can get the attachments view by going to the page > Tools menu > attachments
when you hover over the link, you will see a number in the URL.
Just remember there may be multiple versions indicated by the prevver field.
If there is more than one version, you will just need to think about what version you are updating
