Workaround

  1. In the Catalog pane, open the properties of the feature class. Right-click feature layer and select Manage. Enable 'Editor tracking'.
  2. For the Creator and Editor fields, select the default created_date and last_edited_date fields from the drop-down menu. This creates new fields.
  3. When the edits are finished, save the edits.
  4. Disable 'Editor tracking'.
  5. Using Field Calculator, copy the value of the created_date and last_edited_date fields and paste them in Create Date Field and Edit Date Field.
  6. Delete the created_date and last_edited_date fields.

Note: If a layer is exported from ArcGIS Online into a file geodatabase and published again in ArcGIS Online with the 'Keep track' capabilities, the new editor names, dates, and time fields are created.
