Fields > Created isn't always right

[MikeTO]

The Created date for one of my projects is stuck and refuses to change when I use Save As. It changes for all of my other documents. The Saved date and Save Count do change correctly. Here's a test file saved from 2.1.1.

test.afpub

Here are before and after screenshots of using Save As in 2.1.1 on my oldest backup. Saved and Save Count are reset but not Created.

   

Here are screenshots of using Save As in 2.2 beta 1971 on the latest version of this project. Same as above.

   

Here are screenshots of a working project for comparison, using Save As in 2.2 beta 1971 which resets the Created date to today's date.

Hi @MikeTO,

Been doing a lot of trial and error with this on different documents focusing on release, I've found that any new document I create in 2.1.1 and then forward date my Mac and 'Save As' will fail to update the 'Created' field. However, If I open older documents (Either V1 legacy docs or from earlier versions of V2) and then 'Save As' this does update the 'Created' field as expected so this appears to work for documents created in earlier app versions but has since regressed. I'll get this logged.

@NathanC Thanks and sorry to have caused so much work for such a minor thing. I wouldn't normally pay attention to this field except I was testing custom date formatting yesterday and used Created as my test field until I realized there was an issue with it.

Cheers
