Unfortunately, the Microsoft Office APIs we can use to create new files in Office will not trigger any 'new' events to run. This also includes things like date and time fields to be updated with the creation date of the file.Date and Time fieldshere are some options to consider to camouflage the missing new event in regards to data and time.Offer users a DateAndTime Content Control. that way they can at least easily pick today's date.Use the officeatwork 'Wizard' Add-in to generate today's date for you as this is the most common scenario for DateAndTime fields.
