Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 66570
WW8: File Properties LastSaved date field not updated when exported
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:17:55 UTC
New writer document Insert>Fields>Other... DocInformation, Modified, Date, Format: additional formats, choose a date and time format [dd.mm.yyyy hh:mm:ss] (insert, close) now save to any filename: the field is updated with system timestamp. Now "SaveAs..." and choose document type "Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP (.doc)" Changing the document and saving now doesn't update the "Modified" timestamp. Closing and re-opening doesn't help (value stays the same). Using "Delete" button on File>Properties...>General erases the "lastSaved" property timestamp and empties the field. Doing another SAVE won't fill the doc properties again. Will attach example .doc (sample date field here influence by issue 22410) Whole thing works with odt file format. This behaviour was originally found by a member of german user forum with Windows XPpro OOo 2.0.169 assigned to subcomponent "save-export", because I think that's where the action of updating internal field should take place
Created attachment 37239 [details] sample filelds "DocInfo>Modfied" timestamp in DOC format
MRU->MBA: The "LastSaved" (or "Modified") fields (Author, Date and Time) are not updated with the correct information when these are exported to MS Word format. In OO 1.x it only seemed to be correct; there the export as a field was not supported and resulted in plain text information.

I am having the same issue. I modify a collaborative file (other user using MS Word). I have been saving in word format. The file "modified date" in windows explorer was two days past. I lost a whole day's work trying to synchronize files (which use the last mod date/time). The issues marked as duplicate are not duplicates I think. This is the actual OS-defined file modification date (not the internal file meta data). Using OO320m12 (Build: 9483).
