Manual date not copied

[heavymeister]

I use PM for setting IPTC in scanned slides. I set the date it was shot in the IPTC date field manually along with the other relevant fields. Then I use the "Copy"-button to bring the IPTC data to the next picture where I hit "Paste". All data is copied except the date. Is this a bug or a feature? What would be a workaround?

Thanks,

What date format do you have chosen?  What version of PM are you using and on what OS?

PM 4.6, Mac OS 10.5.6
I used the date format that is in the field "Time and Date": 27.07.1993 for example. If I copy the IPTC and paste it to another picture, the date results in today's date, where I would expect 27.07.1993

Any news on this? Bug or feature?

It's a bug that it is changing the date at all.  Copy/Paste of IPTC isn't supposed to copy/paste the date/time.

I'll look into it further.
