Set file creation date/time to the Create Date

[tryingtryingtrying]

I am trying to write a script on my Mac using python, that'll use the

Code Select Expand

create date parameter (2023 August 4th, as seen in the image) and set the

Code Select Expand

file creation date (which I think is the one seen in the metadata in the file Finder) to that value.
I am having trouble doing that, can I please get some help?
Thank you!

The ExifTool command would be:

exiftool "-filecreatedate<createdate" FILE

But you need setfile to write this in MacOS.  The command installs setfile:

xcode-select --install

I'm guessing that your problem was FAQ #2.  You were trying to use tag descriptions instead of the tag names.
