I would find it useful too!

+1! Using Obisidan as a notes-oriented client tracker makes being able to visualise modification date critical. It would be incredible if there was a way to do that.

This can simply be achieved by using a dataview inline query:

file last modified on `$= dv.current().file.mtime`

This was implemented a long time ago. It is availably when you hover over the file in file explorer using filesystem data. For internal handling of creation and update time follow here:

Handle file creation date / modified date internally (don't use the filesystem info)

Currently obsidian uses the filesystem information to determine file creation date and file modification date. This is brittle because not all filesystems support this feature and these dates can become meaningless during file transfer operations. It would be better to handle those internally and directly by Obsidian. Related:
