[NEED] Ability to edit Opportunity Created Date
J
Justin Showers
There are plenty of use cases where someone would need to edit the Opportunity's Created Date.
Here's one:
One of our Sales people is about to start using HighLevel and he needs to replicate his existing pipeline within, which will essentially be creating a bunch of new Opportunities. Without the ability to edit the “Created Date” for Opps to reflect when these actually came into his pipeline, our data/reporting thinks these were all created on the same day. We know when these Opportunities arose... we just have no way to import or change that date field.

I recently completed a full CRM migration from a flooring industry CRM into GoHighLevel — importing 26,000+ contact records with sales history dating back to 2018.
The migration went well. But I hit a critical limitation:
GHL does not allow setting a historical "Created At" date when creating Opportunity records via API or CSV import. Every opportunity is stamped with today's date regardless of when the original transaction occurred.
For a business with 17,000+ completed sales going back years, this makes the dashboard, revenue reporting, and pipeline analytics unusable for historical context. All 17,000 historical wins appear as if they happened on import day.
The Request:
- API — Allow a "createdAt" field in the POST /opportunities/ payload
- CSV Import — Add a "Created At" column to the Opportunities import template
- Allow "Won At" and "Lost At" dates to be set independently
The Business Case:
This affects every business migrating into GHL from Salesforce, HubSpot, ServiceTitan, or any other CRM. Without backdating, GHL reporting becomes unreliable for migrating businesses — which undermines a core value proposition.
This has been raised in the Ideas forum since 2022 with no resolution. As GHL scales into enterprise, accurate historical migration is a baseline expectation.
Happy to beta test or provide technical details if helpful.

Ability to Choose Opportunity Create Date

Currently, when you input an opportunity, you need to use today's date.
This is a problem if a client is importing data from another CRM or loading their own data into GHL. This results in several years of historic data all showing as "opportunity created" = today.
Having a way to set the opportunity create date so a date in the past can be chosen is vitally important to allow such users of GHL to get a dashboard that displays data correctly.

Im having the same issue. I think it is very important to be able to create a date in the past.

this is essential for good reporting now 2026, and good reporting still doesn't seem to be a priority for GHL

Really need to be able to change the created date. We’re importing all of leads over and it’s really going to mess with our data to have all of the created dates be the date we imported them on instead of being able to change that date to when the lead actually came in.

Its a simply feature, we need a field called "Won date" or something like that and obviously this info should me editable

Absolutely, so frustrating creating pipelines for clients with existing GHL accounts who switch over for various reasons or importing leads and all leads are jumbled. Not in chronological order. Can't get around it
