Saving a test document to DOCX results in correct roundtrip (wrt this specific
issue that is about const-ness of fields); Word also opens the generated DOCX
with fields in it, having const values. Then, you can save the DOCX to DOC
using Word, and get a DOC with const fields - so the DOC format supports the
const date/time fields. But opening the resulting DOC (generated by Word) using
LO gives non-const date/time fields - so it's at least import filter issue.
