Enhancement Request: Show info for files attached from Dropbox (and likely others)
When a file is attached from Dropbox (and assume the others, haven't tested), the date it was attached is shown in the Attachments dialog. According to the API, this is the "CreatedAt" timestamp.
What my customer would like is to show the modified timestamp from the file itself, as the documents won't be static instances, but rather living documents worked on collaboratively for a few weeks and the completed.
This would allow them to see that files have been updated, at least a bit more than they can see it now.
This request has also be posted to the Form

Interesting idea and I agree could be really useful when you're looking for people to upload files that are supposed to be revised. Having this data without downloading the file would definitely speed things up.

The files that are Uploaded should already be tagged properly. The ER is focused on the ones stored in Dropbox (and other online storage). The online storage only shows who originally attached it and when they did, not from the file's meta-data itself.

Right. Accessing that metadata from the file would be spectacular.
