It would be great if "Date Taken" metadata would be available for inserting when renaming files at Import in the Filename Template Editor.

    All of the date/time fields in the Filename Template Editor come from the catalog's notion of capture date, which normally comes from the photo's metadata (usually the EXIF field Date Time Original, when the shutter was pressed).

      Thank you. You are right. I just found out that what is wrong is the filename example that lightroom shows. See in the screenshot attached the selected picture was taken on Jun 24 but the filename example shows today's day. It is confusing. Adobe should fix that.
