Add "termination date" or "date closed" for items in a workflow

It would be useful to be able to track the date a workflow ends in the search grid.

VFP does a nice job of ensuring users know when an item is coming due and overdue with the "days to expire" column and red highlighting, but as soon as an item is voted through, "days to expire" goes to 0 and there is no record of the item having been overdue or time to close without looking through the properties of each item one by one.

It's important for users and administrators to report on items returned late to ensure the project stays on schedule, and identify any problematic trends before they become a big issue.

    I'd second this suggestion. Our use case would be to extract the date when items have been 'released for construction' in the workflow, for contractual reasons. At present, we must go through the properties menu for each item individually to find the termination date of the workflow which is very time consuming.
