Not to my knowledge. This is why I add them in as soon as I get them.

Same. But I also get angry when I realize I added the wrong version of an album years later and now have to delete and add the correct version.

Ditto. Sometimes I’m feeling lazy and put something in as a placeholder. I used to add notes for where I got something but that fell by the wayside.

There’s no way to manually edit the “Date Added” field for albums in your collection, right?

I recently caught up on logging all my records in Discogs that I’ve bought over the past few years, so the date added is April 2025 for most of them now. Not a big deal, but I spent wayyyy too much time going back through my emails to find the dates that I purchased them and wrote those dates in the notes, so it would be nice to get rid of those notes and just have it reflected in the date added field.

You can create a custom field but it is not searchable within the app or website.

Nope - I've been asking for this to be something we can edit for years. A "date added" should always be when you added it to your collection, i.e bought it, not when you added the release to your discogs collection.

I had to deal with this when I finally went back to my CDs and added them properly. Now it looks like I bought a bunch of CDs in 2023 when I've had most of them since they were released.

Could some of y'all with votes please help with a Merge...

I created the new listing under David P. Smith (2) because that's what he was credited as on a compilation, but it turns out that was miscredited. My entry has more detailed information in every aspect except Cat. No. - which there is no indication of anywhere on the release so, while I can infer where dps06 would come from as a Cat. No. I have no means to verify it.

Thanks.

**There are a lot of great local artists here in Victoria that are underrepresented, or miscredited, on the 'cogs and I'm slowly trying to tighten things up, but it's been harder than I'd like since I no longer have the majority of the CDs that are missing or have incorrect credits.
