[Zope] how to modify documents creation date

[Peter Bengtsson]

Zope objects don't have a creation date, but they have a modification
date which is called bobobase_modification_time which is a callable
function. This can't be modified as far as I know other than setting
this date to todays date and time. Don't rely on this date for
anything.

You're better off setting your own date on every object. How you do
this depends but if you use Plone it shouldn't be hard if you use
archetypes.
