Description arnold ziffel 2011-03-07 16:01:43 UTC
Using Insert>Fields>Date will enter correct date onto document, but won't be part of document once is saved and then closed. Had to use alternate method of Insert>Fields>Other>Document, Type-Date, Select-Date, Format 12/31/99, saving then close, then open  correct date appears. First bug I ran into with your product.

AND with LibO-dev 3.5.0 
    Build ID: 549f928-b211287-090bcba-45cf606

It seems exporting this as a field is not supported (I guess Word doesn't support that field type or so), what the doc exporter does is exporting the field result as a plain string, and now the RTF exporter does the same.

Fixed in master: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=4b0dd950b8b79df004238f372fe55993d5ac5981

Cherry-picked to 3.5: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?h=libreoffice-3-5&id=11b6fd520babd5b0f4fa7242377115f00b6c1c23
