Contact Form: add submitted date to entries in feedback csv file

[richardfrench]

Feedback when exported as CSV has no date information for each entry. I think this would be a useful feature. I can create a patch for this, but wondered if adding a date should be optional or not, depending on an option within the Feedback page.

I'm not sure if there would be any danger in silently changing the csv format -- if anyone has built things on top of it that read it in and wouldn't know what to do with the new column. I'm certainly up to consider it though, just that we may need to add a way to let folks use a filter to strip it back out.

Closing this for now because of the lack of activity on this. We can always reopen in the future if needed.

Outdated plugin which could export with date: https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack-feedback-exporter/. Tested it but did not manage to get it working.

This does seem like important info to include on an export, especially if there is a large amount of feedback that is exported. Reopening for now.

i imagine the date can be added in function get_post_meta_for_csv_export()
