I think it's because it was never programmed that way. And I agree, very annoying. Some fields on the source detail screens auto-convert, some have a button to click for the current date and some have to be entered the way you want them to print. It all depends on the type of tmplate and there are too many for me to remember which act the way they should. I have pretty much given up on the auto conversion feature.
