Description joachim_liedtke 2019-03-14 14:17:57 UTC 
Inserting fields like author or date (both the fixed variant) will be not be updated to the current author or creation date when the template is openend. Instead the fields will show the creator of the template and the date when the template was saved the first time.

Thank you for reporting the bug.
I have inserted date and author field fixed variant and its showing current date and Creator only.

Draw template with non-working fields

It does not work even in our 6.2.1.2 version. See attached otg. When you open the template the first name have to be yours, even time must be actual time.

Comment 3 Wolfgang Jäger 2019-03-15 10:30:37 UTC 
Concerning a "fix" Date field contained in a .otg template I can confirm for V6.2.0.3 that it NOT is updated as it would be in Writer if a new Draw document is created based on the template. The update should be expected, however. 

Concerning Comment #1 : There probably was a misunderstanding. 
The reporter expects the "fix" fields to be updated **only** in the case that the Draw template containing them was used to create a new Draw document (as 'Untitled 1' e.g.)

Using Writer templates a "fix" date contained in the template is updated to the current date for the "fix" field in the new 'Untitled 1' document. That's reasonable. I rely on this behaviour with my letter templates e.g. An update 'On Document Creation' should also be done for a "fix" Author field if any and probably for some additional types of fields for which it is appropriate. 

(Concerning the Author field I did not get offered a "fix" variant, and the ordinary filed **was* updated as expected if the template was used by a different author. I would judge the lack of a "fix" variant of the Author field as a kind of bug requiring an enhancement.)

Problem is already in 4.3.0. In 3.5.0, the topmost time is 00:00:00. Tested on Windows.
