Hi, An alternative would be to create a dedicated, named flow on the master page with auto-connect turned off. This would result in a text field on each page that you could use to enter the issue or revision date.
However, some potential issues come to mind. Whether you use a master page or a text flow to track the dates, it is unlikely that the text will stay in sync with the master page. As you add new text to the document, the text will flow through as many pages as necessary to format the document. An alternative might be to auto-number your highest level headings and include a table in the front matter that tracks revisions to the major sections in the document.
