When moving a file from Mac A to Mac B via AirDrop, the file date is
changed from its original date on Mac A to the current date.

Any setting or simple way to permanently override this "feature"?

When you use AirDrop, you're not "moving" anything - you are "copying"
it. AirDrop is not a traditional file sharing facility and therefore
does not retain file metadata from the source file system. The file is
brand new on the destination machine. So this is correct operation.

If you want to maintain file system metadata when copying or moving
files, use traditional file sharing instead.

The creation date is the date the file was CREATED. When you transfer a
file from one computer to another, a new file is created.

Not for AirDrop, but there are other things you can do. I use rsync with
certain flags when I want to preserve date/time.
