@mmmmmm, yes, I've just tried rsync -a with rsync 3.2.7, but no luck. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

| Aug 22, 2023 at 0:28 | comment | added | lhf | @Alper, I don't what to set "Date Added" to match "Date Modified". I want to duplicate a folder and keep the "Date Added" in the new folder equal to the "Date Added" in the old folder. | |

| Aug 21, 2023 at 18:20 | comment | added | Tetsujin | You're not really 'preserving' date added - just to be pedantic - you want it to be forced from the earlier folder data. Currently your new data added is actually accurate. | |
| Aug 21, 2023 at 17:29 | comment | added | Allan | To modify the Date Added attribute, it's going to require some programming/scripting. See this answer: apple.stackexchange.com/q/40941/119271 | |
| Aug 21, 2023 at 17:20 | comment | added | lhf | @Allan, I've edited the question. "Doesn't work" means "the Date Added info is lost". | |
