Interestingly, in the hierarchical experimental project I created, I have been spending the morning working on one of the sub-sub-sheets. I had annotated many times, and as soon as I read your posting, I looked at my title block and observed that the date had been updated according to your prediction. With the project closed, I then opened the top sheet. None of the "parents" to that sub-sub sheet had experienced updating of the title block date. So I "annotated" again, with hierarchical mode specified, and all pages updated.
Thank you for your keen advice.
