There are two date fields that I can see, on the "Taxonomy Terms" export, called "Updated date" and "Changed date".
1.) The first one should be "Created date" (instead of Updated date) and should be when the term was first created, not when it was edited. (You said to use this field to determine when the taxonomy term was added, so that we could see what our initial set of words were).
2.) Problem: if a Taxonomy term is edited by us, it is changing the current "Updated date" field (which you said should be created date) and also changing the "Changed date" field. So now we can't tell when the term was added.
An example if it helps:
For Constructs, "tid=643", or "Special education class vs general education". It was created on 3/15/2021 (and says so on my export I did yesterday. Both dates were 3/15/2021). But I edited the field yesterday, and now the two dates are "4/27/2023". I am worried the ability to see when fields were created is lost?
Yesterday's export: Constructs 643 Special education class vs general education 03/15/2021 - 14:56 03/15/2021 - 14:56
Today's export: Constructs 643 Special Education Class vs General Education 04/27/2023 - 19:32 04/27/2023 - 19:32
Note: there are some fields with different "Updated date" and "Changed date" on the export. So, that's interesting, and brings more questions lol (like maybe "how" the edit is happening/from what screen?).
