Either field will convert to text when merged.
A CREATEDATE field will output the date the mailmerge main document was created, not the date of the mailmerge. The { QUOTE { DATE } } construction will output the date of the mailmerge, but pop-ups would normally only come into consideration of the user wants a different date.
