Is there a way to check the image creation date?

Why: I want to ensure that people don’t upload older images, but only images that are uploaded in July 2023?

I don’t think there’s a way to do this. Glide can’t read EXIF data from incoming images to my knowledge.

I remember doing this using Apps Script when I was working on Mark Turrell’s Covid App a couple of years ago. I dare say it might be possible using JavaScript. Not something that I’ve tried through.
