Use a CREATEDATE field for the date and merge to a new document. The new
document will always show the date of the merge.

How do I create a form file that upon merging inserts the current
date of the merge, then does not update after that point? In other
words, after the merge is complete, the resulting document's date
field should be automatically unlinked. I do not want to teach the
user to unlink the field with Ctrl-Shift-F9, because there are
several of these date codes throughout the form file, inlcuding
headers and footers, and also I don't want to risk that the user
forgets to unlink the date field.
Thank you in advance.
