Thanks for taking the time to look into this!

Hm, I think I misunderstand the database. It seems to be that “Date Created” is separated from the “Added” value? For whatever reason, the imported file has a very strange “Added” date for all of the cards.

What would be the simplest way to fix this without losing the scheduling information?

I’d be relatively comfortable with editing the SQL manually, but I do not understand the format of the database and would need some hints.
