Dates in a custom PO template

[sufyan-mukadam]

I am trying to customise our own PO template for use with some of our suppliers. I have manged to make most of it work but I am stuck on an issue regarding dates.
When a PO is created, a creation date is saved and we need this on the PO. But when I had a look at the context variables exposed, the creation date is not part of it.

Is there a way of accessing this in the template editor or would this require some backend changes?

This is clearly a question and not a bug / feature request; please use discussions in the future

Will keep that in mind in the future, I did think about posting it as a discussion initially, but if it is not currently possible, I would like to raise a feature request for this.

If you're running Inventree>=0.18, you may also want to try out this plugin. This will get you auto completion for all available context variables, filters, ... Would really appreciate some feedback about it.

I can't find a 0.18 in the releases, I'm currently on 0.17.11. Is 0.18 the latest development branch?

[wolflu05]

Yes, 0.18 is currently not officially released and therefore the development version (which is not recommended in production).

I'll try and get that up and running, I test all updates on my test server before deployment anyway
