Dynamic Stamp Not Updating Date and Time

Hello - I want to create a dynamic stamp where the date and time update everytime I stamp a document. I created a custom stamp by following the "Create a custom stamp or custom dynamic stamp" section of this website, https://helpx.adobe.com/ca/acrobat/using/adding-stamp-pdf.html, however it shows me the creation date/time and it does not change. The stamp is saved on my computer in this area, C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\plug_ins\Annotations\Stamps\ENU. I have tried saving the stamp under the different headings available (dynamic, reviewed, approved, etc.) but they still result in the same.

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

The location of the stamp doesn't matter. If you followed the instructions you linked to, it should update each time you apply it. Could you share the stamp file with us?

I am having this same issue. I have the PDF updating the dynamic field each time its opened (done via creating a Page Template and also creating a Page Property on the source PDF to reset the form upon opening. I then created the custom stamp by directing to that form, but the dynamic form field does not seem to reset / update when placed (and just shows the most recently-saved values for the form field).
