Is there a way to view recent activity date by creating a custom v

[Vinnie00]

I want to be able to view most recent activty date at a glance from the
contact screen. I have created a custom view, but I can not get a date to
populate. I have tried using created or modified from the Journal fields,
but I either get the date the contact was created or none. Is there a way to
set up a field that will display the date of the most recent activity?

the created and modified dates should work. (They do here.) While there
shouldn't be a difference when using the field from another item type, there
is a created and modified field for contacts which you can use.

I don't want the date the contact was created. I want the date of the most
recent activity. This isn't an available field to chosse when setting up a
new view. Is there a way to do it?

That's the modified field.
Use the field chooser to find it and drag it to the view.

The Modified date would be as close to that as you can come. Not every
action updates the Modified date, however.
