Hi Michael,

I'd suggest you look at your date settings here under File -> Options -> Language Pairs -> "your specific language pair":

Maybe the transformation is being driven by the setting you are using?  I'm not sure why this would effect it as it is a field value, but perhaps the language settings are doing something here... worth a play anyway

Regards

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for your input.

I've unticked everything (see screenshot) (under Project setting as opposed to general options) and I still have Studio inserting hours, minutes and seconds. Really problematic.

Goodness knows what's happening.

In the meantime, this problem alone means I have to go back to an old version of Studio for the purposes of this daily translation.

Off-topic question - how do you actually do this, given that upgraded license AFAIK cannot be used for lower version anymore? Or did I miss some change in the licensing policies?

We have the same problem with Studio 2017 SP1 and the MS Word filetype 2007-2016. Field functions with a date get converted to { SAFEDATE  \@ "dd MMMM yyyy HH:mm:ss"  \* MERGEFORMAT }.

Changing settings in Windows or using Search & Replace is no option, because we have several field functions in one document, with different formats (e. g. YYYY-MM or just YYYY) which are all changed to the same above long form.

Now, that the filetype MS Word 2007-2013, with which this problem did not occur, was removed, we have a serious problem.

I reported this behaviour to the Support half a year ago, but nothing was done. What can be done to get this false behaviour finally repaired?
