How do I get the CreationDate of a SourceDataset e.g. "Parks.shp" to a userdefined attribute of every Feature in this Dataset.

 

I tried SystemCaller and TCLCaller but got stuck.

You can use the "Directory and File Pathnames" reader to get the file creation date (set Retrieve file properties=Yes), which you can then merge onto all the features of the shapefile.
