Default Automatically date and time update

I have inserted a date into my document and checked the box so that when I
open that document in the future it will redate with the current date. It is
not working; when I open the document at a later date it is retaining the
original date. Why?

Default Automatically date and time update

Press ALT+F9. Does the date now display as a {DATE} (or TIME) field? If not
you have inserted the date as text.
