Text variables with current date not working
I created a text variable to update the date when the document is modified. When I opened my document in the beta version of InDesign, the text frame for my text variable was empty. I tried to re-enter the variable, and I tried making a new variable. When I selected a variable that included the current date, it would not appear. I created a Modification Date text variable and a custom text variable based on the Modification date. They appeared correctly. I saved the InDesign doc to the cloud. Once I applied a paragraph style, the text disappeared in both boxes.

I have the same issue. Modification date does not work in InDesign Cloud (.inddc).
If I save the same project locally, as indesign document indd, the modification date variable works again.

I forgot to mention in my first statement that I created a new file and made the text variables and they appeared correctly. Once I saved it to the cloud and applied the paragraph style is when they disappeared.
