James Jeeves Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Hi I am trying to insert current date into document. I can get fields via View. I can find current date on panel. clicking on current date brings no response. Bring up default format but only blank panel shows. I am unable to find out how to change format for date. Help! starting to think money has been wasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotMyFault Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Welcome to the forum JJ You need to insert a frame text first. Then click on the "Date & Time" label to get the date pasted into the selected frame.

Every layer type that is capable to receive a text. Maybe try path text 😂 walt.farrell 1 Quote Mac mini M1 A2348 LG34WK950U-W, calibrated to DCI-P3 with LG Calibration Studio / Spider 5 iPad Air Gen 5 (2022) A2589 Special interest into procedural texture filter, edit alpha channel, RGB/16 and RGB/32 color formats, stacking, finding root causes for misbehaving files, finding creative solutions for unsolvable tasks, finding bugs in Apps.

I think what @James Jeeves is seeing (or not seeing(?)) is this : this has been fixed in the latest Mac Beta. walt.farrell 1 Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.2 Affinity Designer 2.3.1 | Affinity Photo 2.3.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.3.1 | Beta versions as they appear.
