Voice Memos timestamp lost on export from Voice Memos app to finder in Tahoe 26.2 on a MacBook Air

When I export a voice memo, I try to include in the file name or description of the file. The timestamp because I need that, but it's lost when I drag and drop; all that is maintained are the titles I type and the date, but not the time when the recording took place. I need this to work in my MacBook Air running Tahoe 26.2. When searching online I found potential solutions, but all of them require me to find the files in a container and read the meta-data one file at a time in order to type it in for each file individually after I've copied them from the Voice Memos app or in making the title of the memo in the Voice Memos app. This is extremely inefficient and I need it to be efficient.

MacBook Air (M1, 2020)
