# File Browser Template – %file_date% empty

 * I’m editing the file browser template and trying to add %file_date% to the output
   string however nothing is being displayed on the front end. I checked an individual
   file and set the Date options to today’s date but the value is returning nothing.
   Is this pulling from the meta data date or from the database record? Could this
   be an import issue?
