Trying to create a custom stamp to place on 1st page of all documents (i.e. Date, Time). I can apply without any issues but it won't allow me to create a stamp based on field value. Is there any other way to automatically accomplish this in Workflow?

I don't know if this is what you are looking for, but the following link has an example of parsing a custom stamp and creating the image for it. This was created in Workflow 9.0, so it was using LFSO, but should at least provide an example of how to create your new stamp image.
Note: The link is to a post in the old Forums in the SDK section, so you may not have rights to get there.
This is a little tricky actually. Workflow can only use non-token stamps that already exist in the repository. The token selector is there so you can match a stamp by its name.
A very nice feature would allow you to create a stamp temporarily or be able to place a stamp on a document from within a workflow process. I can create a text but they can edit that after the document has been created. A stamp wouldn't be able to be changed. I have been able to capture the correct field but the stamp is looking for the same name of the stamp, which doesn't exist.
This would be a nice feature (to be able to include tokens/text in a custom stamp). You can achieve a similar result using a sticky note but they aren't as obvious and obscure the text beneath.
Thanks Bert, I've had a look at that and it's good to know we have an option.
