Hi all,
How can we automatically generate the date in the sheet, like the Name and Sheet number.

It's like I'm your private consultant ;-) This one is kind of convoluted...
Set up your sheets, and then examine and edit them under "Project Overview" -> "Project Setup" -> "Documents". Highlight the sheet (i.e. EX03) and "Edit" (the pencil icon). Now you see a bunch of metadata that can be set for your sheet, for example "CreationTime". Use the clock icon to set the date/time and save it, then add the item in your sheet template, i.e. "{{CreationTime}}". You can include any of the other metadata in your sheets using the same method.
I should clarify... This is not truly automatic. It will not set the value every time you create the drawing. This is simply a way of having sheet-specific values using a single template for all your sheets.
I think there was some talk of making these a bit more automated (in particular some discussion of integrating the git log to generate a revisions block) but I don't think it ever went anywhere.
😂... your solution works perfectly!
