Change 'Created' column/field value

Question

I have a business requirement of changing the date of 'created' column/field of selected
document/s in a document library(it has to be changed to current system date). This has to be done by adding a custom button to the ribbon and providing authorization to the button. Please let me know if this is possible?

Hi,
Please refer to the following article.
http://www.learningsharepoint.com/2011/06/13/using-javascript-js-file-in-commandaction-of-custom-ribbon-button-sharepoint-2010/
In the above article, command action is JavaScript function. For example.
<CommandUIHandler
Command=”AboutButtonCommand”
CommandAction=”javascript:ChangeDate();“/>
Create a script file and refer to your command action.
//Referencing the Script
<CustomAction
Id=”AboutFilesButton.Script”
Location=”ScriptLink”
ScriptSrc =”/_layouts/RibbonScripts/ChangeDate.js”/>
You can add the following function to the "ChangeDate.js" file.
function ChangeDate()
var ctx = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var list = ctx.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle("CM");
var items = SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedItems(ctx);
var item = list.getItemById(items[0].id);
item.set_item("Created", "2/13/2015"); //change the date
item.update();
ctx.executeQueryAsync(
function () {alert("Created date changed") },
function () {alert ("Error")}
Hope this works for you.
