Can something mistakenly change an item's "date added"?

I have a "Hold One Year" folder that functions as a delayed trash container that I’ve been using for a few years. There have always been about a dozen files and folders in it, waiting for their year to end and get moved to the trash.

But yesterday I found the folder empty. Could something (such as the Catalina upgrade I did last week) reset the date added so that Hazel thought it had been there more than a year?

Here is the rule for the "Hold One Year" folder:

If all conditions met:
Date Added is not in the last 1 year
Move to folder trash

What could have happened to my folders and files?

It might be possible. Can you check the logs? Go to the "Info" section and click "View Log". Search for one of the files that was moved prematurely.
