I would do a handler such as

on closecard
  set the cpDateCreated of this card to the propIwantLater
--        now it is available to any stack from any card
--        in your case,
--               to the long id of group "_dateCreated"

--         further, I would put the actual info I want to retrieve into the
custom properties to make things easier.
end closecard

Hopefully the bug will be fixed, but until then....
What I have described is not a hack, but another way Rev would allow you to
set and access info.

Do you 'copy' the group to the next card or 'place' the group on that card?
And when is this done?  (during development, or program operation)?

Is there a group id 3712?  If so, the group id 3698 seems to be the one you
really want.
