But if you the change the date of "Test source" in the left side and then copy it to the right side again, then the "Test source" on the right side does not get it's date updated to the date of the left side - that is by design.
The "Copy date/time" option ONLY has effect for directories copied if the same directory does not already exist in the target.
Also be aware that on NTFS partitions (most common for drive C: on newer computers) the date of a directory is updated by the system if files are added or removed from the directory - There is nothing TC can do about that.
I would really like to have the source date/time copied (overwriting) the target.
I think you are expecting too much - If you delete the "Test source" on the right side of you example (the "Test source" inside the "Test target dir") and then copy "Test source" from left to right - you will see that the newly created dir on the right side will have the same date as "Test source" on the left side - as you want.Am I expecting too much? Am I misunderstanding how this work?
