| The Script Automatically Add End/Start Dates For Animes/Mangas. Are you tired of clicking on the button 'Edit Details', just to add the anime started/finished dates? Would you like MAL to implement an automatic way to Add End/Start Dates For Animes/Mangas? Then simply use this script to Automatically Add End/Start Dates For Animes/Mangas. And forget about clicking on the button 'Edit Details', just to add the anime started/finished dates!   1 Simply Install the script AND ENJOY! https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/407730 *When you add an anime/manga to your list, MAL automatically change the status to Watching/Reading, but this WON'T add the anime/manga start date. *The script doesn't auto add the finished dates for animes that are airing or that wasn't aired yet. If the anime page shows this "Episodes: 0/?", then the finished date won't be auto added because MAL will keep moving that anime to your PTW list until the anime finishes airing. The symbol "?" means that MAL doesn't know how many eps that entry will have. Developer Recommendation: (EVEN IF YOU DON'T INSTALL/USE THE SCRIPT) DO NOT open the link 'Edit Details" on a new tab without closing the anime/manga page. |

| @hacker09 Hey, I've been using this script for a while now but it hasn't been working for about a week. Is there a solution to this ? It displays the date but it doesn't automatically add them for anime or manga. |
| @TitanInsane I've also noticed that. For now I'm just reloading the page and moving my mouse, then waiting like 2 secs to see if the dates will de displayed or not, if they are displayed after doing these steps it means that they were correctly added. If not just click again on watching or completed and the the script will work. I'm not sure yet if this is a problem on MAL or on my script, but I will look this ASAP, and if the problem is on my script I will update it! |

| @TitanInsane I haven't really changed anything in the add start/dates part, but I've updated the script and it's seems to be working 100% of the time now... But maybe MAL is working perfectly right now, so that's why the script worked?... I'm not sure, so please install the update and do some tests. If anything doesn't work well, tell me what and give me the link were something didn't work well. |

| @Lightstylez The script is not supposed to add dates when you add an anime to your list. Please read the script description carefully, it only set the completed and watching dates. Select watching and the start date will be set, that's all. 1 add an anime to your list 2 reload the page 3 set the anime to watching 4 the script does its job and adds the start date |

Cammell123 said: Thanks for the script man, I always thought MAL did this automatically but that isn't the case one of their old mobile apps did it automatically, not sure if the latest one doe or if the site ever did, but either way, this is a nice script to have. |

| @ShaggyZE Their latest android app works like my script, but I don't usually use the app to keep track of animes anyway, also being obligated to remember to use the app all the time and not the web version sucks. If I were a normal user I would also keep using this script anyway just to make sure I don't lose this precious data information. |

| can we honestly just convince MAL to add this as an option (which is turned on by default) because i've done this by day uno and really think everyone should be able to make a cute timeline |
avaoir said: can we honestly just convince MAL to add this as an option (which is turned on by default) because i've done this by day uno and really think everyone should be able to make a cute timeline Yeah that would be nice and my life dream. Shishio-kun tried to create a topic suggestion where a couple devs would keep an extension on chrome store, all mal had to do is tell users to use it, it would be a dark mode extension, but it got 100% ignored. |

| @TEST039358384368 If it's a movie/entry with a single episode yes. Marking it as completed will add start and watching date as the day you clicked on completed. This is very good for short ovas,specials and musics, and ALSO GOOD FOR MOVIES. Nobody really watches a 2 hour movie in a couple days, it's usually "sit to watch the movie until it ends" kind of thing that most people do. No, if you open an entry/movie (WITH MORE THAN 1 episode) then click on + once the script will auto set it as watching and will auto add the starting date, then after a couple days or how long you want, you can go back and click again on + to mark it as completed. The script will add the watching date (a couple days ago for example) and will add the today's date (the completed date). |

It worked fine a couple days ago I see that it works for some manga entries, and not for other manga entries. That is because add_manga%5Bnum_read_chapters%5D= add_manga%5Bnum_read_volumes%5D= end up having the value of ? and it breaks the add finish date request, I will try to figure out what is happening... |

| Thank you so much for this invaluable tool. I have a lot of anime that I have previously completed without dates on them, and I'd like to go through and set them for the date I started my account (September 30, 2008). Is there a way you would recommend I go about doing this? Once again, thank you for your time. |

| @srejsuk Now the script is able to add the finished date when a user sets a publishing manga as complete. The script didn't expect a user to set a publishing manga as complete since it is publishing... So it did not add the finished date in this specific situation for publishing entries |

| @hacker09 Thanks for the fix, it works fine...but I found another bug. When I complete manga and the script add finished date, after F5, read chapters are removed and for example, when I had 125 chapter for oshi no ko it was set to 0 out of current 125 chapters. There isn't any problems with manga that are set as completed or on hiatus by MAL. I checked if it's not from any other scripts or from MAL itself, but I'm pretty sure it's that one causing this bug Anyway, thanks for your work |
| @srejsuk "Oshi no Ko" Status: Publishing Current amount of chapters and volumes for Status: Publishing mangas are 0 and 0, so yes it ignores whatever you think is the right amount of chapters and volumes for them. Also, most users likely guess the total chapters and volumes wrong anyway... Status: Publishing mangas actually shouldn't be marked as completed anyway, because I bet MAL does the same thing it does with anime, Many users mark an airing anime as completed, then without knowing that MAL doesn't allow that, (and MAL automatically puts the completed entry back to PTW) they go to the support board saying that it is a bug. Doesn't MAL also do that same thing for mangas anyway? I guess I could fix it easily, but it is not really worth it anyway, because after it finishes publishing, it would be a good idea to go back on that manga entry and check the correct amount of chapters and volumes |

| A few things: 1. Is the dark mode bug resolved? 2. "Nobody really watches a 2 hour movie in a couple days" I do. And also think about movies that are cut in lesser parts, like collaborations, it's not to crazy to think people do this. But I don't think you should change anything in the script, it's best the way you have it now. 3. Can you click the plus on the left side of page, below the picture? Your photo does not show this so I just I'd ask. 4. MAL seriously needs to add an option for this feature to desktop, no excuses. 5. Thank you so much for this, I will try to add this today. |

| @Aegidrom 1?? I have no idea what you mean 2 Then since you know how the script works, don't mark as completed directly, first mark as watching, then after a few days mark as completed, the script doesn't overwrite anything, so your original watching date will be saved. Collabs are usually shorts of 1/2 mins, so I watch 12/24 eps at once in like 12/48 mins max... Again (read my sentence above) Thanks! And yh, I agree too... 3 I'm talking about this + button Anyway, why are you even mentioning this again? Pls use the quotes feature on MAL so I can understand what you are talking about.  4 Again, what are you talking about here??? 5 Again, what are you talking about here??? No idea, but I guess that I should say that "you're welcome and thank you"? Good luck on trying to "add this today", whatever that means????? |

| Sorry, I'm not good with the quote features! 1. @ngoclong19 said "How can I contribute to this script? For example, the start/finish date isn't readable with the new dark theme." ITT You answered "You have already contributed by reporting that bug, thanks I will look into that" My question was if it was fixed. 2. Good idea. 3. So I'm guessing you mean that both of the plus signs on the anime page work? (I was referring to the pictures in your top post ITT. 4. I'm talking about: You have created a functionality/feature that MAL should have from the start. They should have it in their base product. 5. By "Add this today" I mean adding your script today hehe And I am thanking you for your script! Also, sorry that my English suck. Hope this clears up some things! |

@Aegidrom, I can confirm that the script is now compatible with dark mode. hacker09 fixed it a long time ago. It's my fault that I forgot to confirm. Really sorry.
I only use the plus sign of the main content out of habit. I never use the one in the sidebar.
