Captions using metadata from Lightroom "CAPTURE DATE"

I am trying to use the generate captions function in Indesign.   I want the "capture date" to come over from Lightroom.  It isn't coming over and is coming up blank.  Does anyone know what magic I need to use to get that information to come over?     

I had the same problem that was resolved with a terminology discrepancy before.   I was trying to get the LR "caption" field to come over to ID and it stubbornly wouldn't .   Lo and behold,  it turns out that ID "caption" DOES NOT equates to the LR "caption" field.   So Frustrating.  As it turns out,   ID "description" field equates to the LR "caption" field.   I'm wondering if this is the same issue.     Does anyone happen to know?

So, it turns out that it is indeed, a terminology discrepancy again.    ID "Creation Date" equates to Lightroom's "Capture Date"
