Hi everyone, I'm using SW2018 SP3.0 with PDM Standard. Sometimes when I open a drawing file that is checked in, the date in the revision table will automatically change to today's date. This happens even if I don't check out the drawing file. Does anyone have an idea of what's causing this?
Ruben, I tried using the $PRP links you listed, but I'm still running into the same issue. The frustrating part is that this seems to be a random occurrence, so I can't pinpoint the issue. I think I'll just have to manually enter the revision table from now on. Thanks for your help.
George, I'm having a similar issue. Did you ever find a solution? The date on all the revision rows changed to today's date. Just yesterday the same drawing showed the date that the drawing was revised. I don't understand the inconsistent action.
Tim, I've yet to find a solution. The company I work for now requires us to manually enter the revision block information to include some additional information, so this issue is no longer relevant to me. I still have no idea what was causing the date problem, perhaps it has to do with the custom property you choose for the date? I'm not sure.
Did you use this ones?

They're automatic values (you can't choose it) maybe you must to use a manual input for some cases I think.
