Keeping Metadata of Removed and Replacement Content

[FlangeMonkey]

Hi Guys,

Like many of use I'm looking at replacing Plex and therefore been testing out Jellyfin.

I am a big fan of Plex's database, albeit more complex, but it just makes a more overall better experiance.  I'd like to get a simular experiance with library consistances, but the following is stopping me from the move:

• Replacing content keeps the original added date (I prefer scanned into library)
  
• Removed items watch status remains for removed items, so when its aquired later, I know the content was watched
  

I like the trash and verisoning for items that are built into Plex that mainly facilitates the above, but thats a feature request and database change that is quite large and a major change.

Does anyone know of a means to facilitates this functionality?

Thanks,
