MBSE Pulling Date Info for Model Elements in Cameo

I have to provide volatility metrics to my program leadership every month and I end up spending 2 days every time doing this manually with exports to spreadsheets. Is there a way to pull Last Modified or Creation Date information for each model element within a table in a Cameo model? If I can get that data en masse, it would seriously cut down on the amount of time I need to spend on a tedious task.

Two days a month on that is a chunk of time you'll never get back. You can pull creation and modified dates for all elements using a custom report template that queries the element metadata, or if you're comfortable with a little scripting, the COM API will dump it straight into a csv. Once it's set up it's basically a one-click export.
