I am integrating from another CRM/Pipeline management software because GoHighLevel is much more in depth with automations and integrations. However, because I have been in business for 5 years I want to also add in all of my previous closed opportunities so that I can compare data across months and years, not just new sales that I get while a part of GHL (payments happen outside of GHL)

When I add old opportunities that are WON, the date that I add them is the date that they are won, completely messing up my data...

Similarly, if a deal closes on 1/31 but doesn't get marked until 2/1, now the data for January and February are messed up.

We need the ability to track (and edit) an Opportunity's close date (whether it's the date it's marked as Won, Abandoned, or Lost.)

This is critical for pipeline reporting, sales commissions or bonuses, reporting on KPIs, calculating demo-to-close rate, etc.

There are also plenty of use cases where there's the need not only to track the close date, but edit it:

EDIT ABILITY USE CASE #1: Sometimes a deal is closed but the Opp isn't updated right away. Without the ability to edit the date, the close date could be wrong.

EDIT ABILITY USE CASE #2: When migrating data from other systems or other "batch" situations where a bunch of historical Opp data is being inserted into HighLevel for recording keeping or reporting.

EDIT ABILITY USE CASE #3: We had incorrectly setup a "Stage" for Won Opps vs keeping track of that in the "Status". We fixed that structural issue and updated all the Won Opps via the correct "Status". If close date was tracked and there was no way to edit, all the close dates would be wrong.

UPDATE: I had to repost this Idea because HighLevel merged my original one with another Idea that was marked as complete ( https://ideas.gohighlevel.com/opportunities/p/opportunities-dates-more-than-just-date-created ), even though this Idea was not actually addressed in the change log. (Who knows how many great customer Ideas and details have been lost to his haphazard internal process. This seems to happen all the time with HighLevel Ideas for reasons unknown - maybe they have some sort of "Idea Cleanup" quota?) Of course the original idea I posted years ago lost all the upvotes and comments so that's great. Anyway, REPOSTING again!
