- If you have a DATE or a TIME field, it automatically updates.
- If you use CreateDate fields, it remains fixed at the date the document was created, which does not seem to be what you want

Function Keys and Keyboard Shortcuts that Manipulate Fields
The macros that I gave insert text, not fields. That will not automatically update. If you want, download the template with the macros, open it and assign keyboard shortcuts or QAT icons to them

Startup Folder. From then on the keyboard shortcuts / QAT modifications and macros will be available in all of your documents.
