How do changes to a template cascade to docs created from it befor

[Seb Golding]

I have introduced a Date field in my template but it won't appear on the
documents I created before making the change, but from the same template. I
activated the automatically cascade style changes option but it still didn't
help. Any ideas anyone? Cheers!

Automatically update document styles does not add or change document content.
You'll have revise the documents manually or use a macro.
