    WARNING: File Buddy permits the modification of a volume's creation date, but we strongly discourage this. A volume's creation date is commonly used by software (including File Buddy and the Mac OS) to uniquely identify a disk. For this reason, changing a disk's creation date can have unforeseen and undesirable consequences.

To copy the date to the clipboard, Control-click the date to open a contextual menu and choose Copy Date to Clipboard.
