Date from stationery pad

[CBFreeborn]

When I use the "Option" key on my Mac OS X system to copy IPTC information entered for an image to the stationery pad, and I then apply the stationery pad to another image file, the date doesn't get transferred. Is this expected behavior? [I'm using the stationery pad for groups of image files that have been scanned, and so I'm entering an arbitrary date as opposed to the date originating from camera EXIF data.]

Thanks// Chris

This is by design and is expected behavior.  If you want to apply a specific date, open the IPTC Stationery Pad, update the date, set the apply checkbox, and then apply from within the IPTC Stationery Pad.
