Comment
Nice one Adam - thanks for the update.
Don't suppose there's any way to display a last updated date/time for cards in MQL queries in this release is there?
Carl
Forgot to ask, what's the scheduled release date for 2.3?
Carl
Exposing Dates Created/Modified to MQL is not in 2.3; it's as yet unscheduled, but it's come up in a few conversations lately, so we may be revisiting the timeline so that people can use them to build some reports that they are looking for. We'll post an update on this soon.
