Hello. I'm still having this problem. Any information about it? Thanks.

I'd like to second this question - I'm also having this problem. "Original Date" in the desktop software translates into "Date" in the CSV file --> but the value is incorrect: it is just repasting what is listed in "Publication Date" (which is labeled "Date" in the desktop software)

And I don't think this used to be the case. I have past exports where I was getting the Original Date in my export

Fairly certain CSV export has just not been updated for the new fields which came in Zotero 8 (it obviously should be)
