Small Group Attendance - Adding participants for past event

It is absolutely vital that we have a way to add new members or guests to a small group for classes that met the day before. Right now we still use roll books on Sundays, and attendance is marked online on Mondays. If we have guests in a group or new members who joined a group that morning, there is no way to mark them as present for the day before. Which makes it impossible to track new guests their first time in a small group, and our counts are incorrect.  Can an "effective date" field be added when adding someone to a small group roll that would allow us to include them?

    Hi Ben,
    I just tried this and it worked great! Thank you for your help and letting
    us know about this feature being available now. It truly is a need as
    people seem to be guests of groups often or well, they sign up late after
    the group has already had it's kick-off meeting.
    Thanks! Traci Good

    Any update on this? It's so important to have accurate attendance records. One example of my issue: we had a small group yesterday that had 5 people attend who were already in the system but not on that particular group's roster. I added them to the roster but it will not let me mark them as present. Any help on the horizon? This is a big problem for us.
