Can I have a blank date field

Thank you for your reply. It looks like I can’t do what I want to do then. Just to explain I am coming from a background of using Mariner Paperless but they have gone out of business. Under their system you selected a document type eg, Payslip and then selected the metadata you wanted to show for that particular type of document which would be different from the metadata you wanted for something like a bank statement. Is there any facility to do this within DEVONthink? Like I said I am extremely new at this and haven’t gone all the way through the DEVONthink
manual to explore the possibilities.
