Instead of inserting the Date field, you need to insert the CreateDate
field. If you store the CreateDate field in your template and then open a
new document from the template, it will always display the date you created
the new document.

Meanwhile, if you select the Date field and press Shift+F9, it will display
the fieldcode behind. Change DATE to CREATEDATE and then use Shift+F9 to
display the field result again. It will then display the date you created
the document.
