Unable to remove date/time stamps on generated files

Question

I am unable to remove the date/time stamps from the generated files.

The problem is, when I'm editing the .cfp file, I'll set the Production Flags to "Overwrite, RemoveDates". But soon as I save the file, the Production Flags automatically get re-written as "Default, RemoveDates". This happens at both the Producer and Project Level.

If I use the projects advanced properties to set the flags through the GUI, than it sets the Productions Flags to "Default, RemoveDates". Also I don't have the same flag options as in the screenshot at

http://blog.codefluententities.com/2013/04/22/remove-the-current-date-and-time-to-generated-files/

The screenshot has the following checked:
1. Remove Diffs: Remove Dates
2. Remove Dates

None of my options match those in the screenshot. The only one that appears similar is:

1. Remove Diffs <--- Note that the one in the screen shot has Remove Dates on the same line

This article is pretty old. Try using this value instead:

productionFlags="Default, RemoveDates"

Or use the modeler to set this:

For the BOM producer, you need to set one more flag:

productionFlags="Default, Overwrite, RemoveDates"

You can also define it at model stage:
