> ℹ️ When using the metadata properties in the Comala Metadata app macros ensure that the property is added with the initial character for each string in the property name as a capital letter - use **Version** not **version**

> ✅ In Comala Metadata app macro dates from internal metadata (such as a blog's post date, the last modified date of a page, etc) will retrieve date fields in the user date and time format preferences.

These can be sorted by the macros based on this field.

*Comala Metadata App created metadata currently cannot have their values retrieved in any date and time format.*

> 📝 When using a macro to set a metadata that is a date and time, Confluence search and CQL will return the value as a **string value** unless the metadata value is added in the following format `yyyyMMddHHmmssSSS`.
> 📝 
> 📝 - for example, creating the metadata** End Date** with a value of `Dec 2023` or `08/09/2024` will be returned as a string value and is not recognized as a date format value
