Content Templater 11.0 (Joomla 4) not entering dynamic text as before

Hello. I have launched a test site of my Joomla 3 and Content Templater site. Everything worked fine before, however I just installed the latest Joomla 4.2.3 version and the latest version of Templater 11.0.

I use parameters to enter dynamic Aliases and other things, such as this for the alias:
[[date: %b-%d-%Y]]-[[date:%H]]h[[date:%M]]


This worked perfectly in Joomla 3 and Templater 10.x however with the latest versions it just enters as
[[date: %b-%d-%Y]]-[[date:%H]]h[[date:%M]]
and ends up saving as
date: b-d-Y-date: HhM

...rather than putting in the date values as it did before. Did something change or am I missing anything. The documentation for the J4 version doesn't mention or suggest any changes.

In any case, thank you for releasing the new version. It was my holdout on updating to J4 on our main site.

Any suggestions?

Also the modal popups for selecting templates are quite large, and not small and narrow as before.

Yeah it seems like Dynamic Tags aren't working at all from all I have tried.

If I go into the Content Templater System plugin, I see all of this, which to me looks like an issue.

Please try the latest development version from:

Correct. This is the way Content Templater (and other extensions) will deal with the modal.
The modal popups in Joomla 4 don't give a (reliable) way to change the size of the modal.
See for instance the Joomla core Page Break button. That just has a few fields in a massive modal popup.
It is what it is.

My pleasure. Can you confirm the Dynamic Tags are working correctly now?

Hi Peter, I just installed your new Dev version and it appears to be working as it should now.

Thank you for the quick fix. You are a miracle worker indeed!

Thanks, but you have a very broad view on what a miracle is 😁
