Alteryx Canvas embedded, automatic metadata

It would be incredible helpful if Alteryx canvases auto-populated some metadata about each canvas to track its origination and updates.

 

The metadata fields I'm specifically thinking about are:

-Author

-Date Created

-Date Last Updated

Agree with you @JoshKushner - there is a place to store this under the workflow properties, and it would be better if it self-managed this like MS Word does.

I would like to keep the same functionality we have today as well - being able to store my authorship on a canvas is somewhat valuable, and I wouldn't want this to change without manual intervention.

 

I'd propose some new fields for this data.
