Yes this is verified as a bug. We are working to fix ASAP. In the meantime:
The IPTC Metadata Template dialog always opens with Date chosen, even after having closed the dialog with another setting such as Capture Time.
However, the setting you have when you close this dialog will be set.
The problem is only with loading and displaying the dialog. Unfortunately, if you open the dialog, then “close” it, then the setting has changed to Date.
If you open then dialog and see Date, but instead cancel out (by ESC or dialog close box), and don’t save changes, then internally it will still be set to, for example, Capture Time (the setting visible when closing the dialog).
If you intend to have the Capture Time be in every photo, then you don’t need to apply this since this is the default
For those having this problem where they just want the capture time to be used for the IPTC/XMP date/time, just don’t check the apply box in the Metadata Template for Date. PM will by default use the capture time for the IPTC date and time when ingesting/copying.
And if you would like to roll back to a prior version:
