The first date I tried adding myself through Custom Metadata was Date Paid. I clicked Settings/Data then the plus sign at the bottom of the Custom Metadata list - it said “New” so I changed it to “Date Paid”. I then clicked “Type” where it currently said “Single-line Text” and selected Date from the drop down menu. On the next menu it was showing the “Type” as “Date” and I clicked the “Format” to be just “Date” and not “Date & Time” as I wasn’t bothered about the time. The “Date Paid” then showed up in the Customs Inspector for my document and was pre-seat 1/1/2001 so I changed it to the correct date for that document. I discovered on my next document which wasn’t something that required payment that I couldn’t blank out the date. I understand that Date Added and Date modified can never be blank but I thought optional dates like "Date Paid’, “Date From” and “Date To” which only apply to certain types of documents would have the facility to leave blank for documents where they are not required. As I said I am new to DEVONthink so I am maybe missing something simple.
