Total Commander

TC 9.22a doesn't allow to change simultaneously modified and creation date/time in the case if the creation date/time of a file should be equal to its modified date/time.
[AttrPlugin]
Creation Date=tc.creationdate := [=tc.writedate]

Steps to reproduce:
1. Select a file.
2. Click on "Change attributes".
3. Check "Change date/time" and submit a new date/time.
4. Check "Change plugin attributes".
Select Plugin:tc Property:creationdate Value:[=tc.writedate]
5. Click OK.

The modified date/time of the file is changed to a new date/time, but the creation date/time wasn't changed.
Users should again click on "Change attributes", check "Change plugin attributes", click OK. And now the creation date/time is changed and equal to the modified date/time.

Thanks

That's not how it works: When you set the creation date to the write date and set a new write date at the same time, then the file will set the old write date as the creation date.

Example:
file.txt write 1.1.2010 creation 1.1.2000
Set write date = 1.1.2019, set creation date = [=tc.writedate]
result:
file.txt write 1.1.2019 creation 1.1.2010

Why the file will set the OLD write date instead of a NEW write date?
If a user checks both "Change date/time" and "Change plugin attributes", then expression creation date = [=tc.writedate] should be equal to a NEW write date.
