Bots keep adding songs / duplicate playlist keeping old add dates (for sorting)

My Question or Issue

Different bots keep adding songs to a specific playlist which I share with a friend. I know I can create a new playlist and add all songs to it, duplicating the playlist so they don't know the link anymore, but I would really like to keep the add dates of all songs to be able to order by it. Is this possible? Or could Spotify support help me with this?

I also know there's a feature request for giving permission to selected users to edit a playlist which didn't gather enough votes: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Closed-Ideas/Collaborative-Playlists-Editing-permission-only-for-se...

Ugh please make it happen! I made a playlist with a friend and it got DESTROYED by 3 bots!

Hey folks! 

Thanks getting in touch about this.

We've gone ahead and reported this to the right team to be looked into. 

If you have any questions or need a hand with anything else, just let us know.

So I typed an entire comment with lots of details and got an error when posting. So from the top of my head; all songs that were added (20+ yesterday!) are from either SongBot, Pesukone or Empty Elevator. Profiles all have female names. There's only one profile left in my clipboard:

https://open.spotify.com/user/3162fsf3xeingcovlbs5wluet7vu?si=53ff0e8456dc47b7

And I feel my question is totally ignored so bold so it gets read. How can I duplicate my playlist keeping the original add dates? Can someone from support do this for me? I really want to keep these dates to order the songs by.

Please make a way to make collaborative playlists "by invite only"
This is happening to a playlists that my friends and I have had going for three years.

It's SUPER annoying that is occurring, especially since this a service we pay for.

Hey folks,

Thank you for your patience.

Great news. We've made changes to how collaborative playlist work and it's now possible to add specific collaborators and limit who can modify a Collaborative Playlist and link them to 🙂

You can learn more about this here.

Hope this info is helpful. Don't hesitate to reach out again if you have questions.

Alex, thanks to you and your team for implementing this! No more randomly added songs to my playlists! 😁
