An interface issue. I) Establish an IPTC creation date different from EXIF creation date and time. 1. Select an image. 2. Open the meta tag editor ([Ctrl]+[Shift]+[m]). 3. Enter "Creation date and time" in "Edit EXIF" tab. 4. Uncheck the "Creation time" of IPTC. 5. Enter "Creation date" in "Edit IPTC" tab, uncheck "Sync EXIF creation date". 6. Save by clicking "OK". II) Set the country in IPTC data. 7. Select that same image. 8. Open the meta tag editor ([Ctrl]+[Shift]+[m]). 9. Check the "Country" checkbox in IPTC tab and select a country. 10. ! Miss the "Sync EXIF creation date" checkbox as it's something you completely do not think about at that moment, you do not want to edit any dates, just the country. 11. Save by clicking "OK". The wrong result is EXIF's "Creation date and time" having been set involuntarily – to the IPTC "Creation date" and the time of clicking "OK".

Yes, the issue is still there. Namely, if I go to add a country on the IPTC tag, the IPTC and EXIF dates get synchronised by default even if the user does not change anything about the dates.
