Alternatively one can lock the field (Ctrl-F11), whether it's a DATE or CREATEDATE field.

Then what would be the point of a field? It makes much more sense just to
type the date as plain text. Alternatively, you can insert a DATE field and
immediately unlink it.

I did. And I've read many other similar suggestions. What happens to the
create date if you rename the file, or make a copy? Such information in
business records needs to be in static text, IMHO.

Huh??? Did you read Suzanne's reply? It isn't that the right type of field
isn't available, it's that the wrong type of field was used.
