editing either end date or recorded date from imported data

​@kgillis  I’d recommend using the system End Date for this use case.

Qualtrics allows you to overwrite the End Date when importing responses via Data & Analysis, so you can set it to the actual logical completion date (e.g., December 2025) during import. Then you can safely use End Date in your dashboards for:

• Monthly / quarterly splits

• Trend widgets

• Chronological sorting

This way, all widgets will automatically respect the date logic without needing to manually manage a custom date field each time you import new data.

⚠️ Note: The Recorded Date cannot be edited in Qualtrics, so it’s not suitable for this scenario.

​@arunxmarchitect I am not able to see how to overwrite it in the metadata field of End Date. Can you please provide more detail?

You can set the End Date column before importing the file. Please ensure the format is “YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss” or any allowed formats.

Once the file is imported, the End Date will be applied as specified in the file. During the import process, please verify that the field is correctly mapped and not ignored.

If the file has already been imported, the End Date cannot be edited. In such cases, you will need to delete the existing records and re-import the file with the updated End Date.
