I am looking to find the creation date of a reminder for a legal matter. Can anyone help? I am on a MacBook (iPhone & iPad as well) with latest OS. Thank you.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
Yes.
I have a sample Reminder list that looks like this:
I can display the name and creation date of each reminder item above using AppleScript. That pop-up display looks like the following:
The first thing that the script does is open the Reminders application and then presents an entry window to enter the Reminder list name. In my example above, that would be RemList. Once that entry is accepted, it immediately presents the above dialog with the results. This script does not alter your Reminder content.

The script works as written on Mojave 10.14 too.
