Description David Burleigh 2020-05-17 19:45:21 UTC 
Description:
I specify a Date/Time format in a document ("YYMMDD.HHMM") as a timestamp, and it displays correctly, but when I close the document and reopen it, that format is not preserved. It is displayed as "MM/DD/YYYY.HH:MM:SS" and I have to manually change it again each time. 

Steps to Reproduce:
Insert Date field in footer with custom format: YYMMDD
Observe that it displays correctly, for example: 200517
Close the document and reopen. Now it displays: 5/17/20

Actual Results:
5/17/20

Expected Results:
200517


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Waiting for your results.

This video shows creation of a new Writer document using my default template, which has my standard "yymmdd.hhmm" timestamp in the footer...
Comment 4 BogdanB 2020-05-17 20:49:26 UTC 
Thanks for the video.
Confirm it on
Version: 7.0.0.0.alpha1

CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: gtk3;

It is taking system date and time, and not the customized date and time.
Comment 5 David Burleigh 2020-05-17 20:53:08 UTC 
Yes, I tried it on 7.0alpha, and it did the same.
Comment 6 Daniel Sutton 2020-05-17 21:11:53 UTC

Comment 7 David Burleigh 2020-06-24 13:28:07 UTC 
This problem does NOT appear in version 7.0Beta2, however, I cannot depend on that version because of other bugs in it.
Comment 8 Maxim Monastirsky 2020-06-24 15:39:25 UTC 
Likely a duplicate of Bug 133459. If 7.0Beta2 doesn't work for you, you can also try a dev snapshot of the 6.4 branch (what will eventually released as 6.4.6):
