MetaData Editor inserts wrong tags for Date: publication, Date: Creation and Date: Modification

Obviously, this tag is not recognized by my OPDS library.

The same applies to the modification and creation dates.

Double clicking this (opf:event-blication) gives a dropdown list (Creation, Modification, Publication). Selecting Publication, saving the metadata and reopening gives the correct result:

Yes, a bug in mapping from opf attributes into Human Readable language and back. I will look into it.

This has now been fixed in master. To workaround this bug in Sigil-1.5.1 use "Add Metadata" and then choose "Date" (not one of the specific date types) and then on your newly added Date element use "Add Property" and select "Event". You can then use the pulldown.

This fix will appear in the next release (Sigil-1.6.0) hopefully later this month.

Thank you for your bug report!
