[Dx4win] LoTW - what is the "upload date"? and when does it get filled-in?

[N3SL at aol.com]

Larry,
 
Sounds like you missed one step (and this would have been without a filter,  
as it involved your entire log the first time, but it also works with and is  
"necessary" even with a filter set):
 
Labels --> Set upload flags 
 
That will set the upload date.  The reason that's "important" to you  is that 
later you can filter on that field to find any entries that have not yet  
been uploaded by doing an F9 search and entering "01/01/1901" in that  field.
 
You can still go back and do that now.  You just don't have to upload  the 
file to LoTW (obviously).
 
73,
Steve

OK - so  I have figured out: the LoTW ADIF extract from DX4win, the ARRL  
certificates, signing the ADIF file, uploading the file, downloading the  
matching QSO confirmation results, and importing the results into DX4WIN  as 
"upload confirmed QSOs".

I uploaded 15,761 QSOs to LoTW. I got  1,962 upload confirmed QSOs in 
response. All seems good, except the  "upload date" is still blank. Is the 
upload date supposed to be filled in  when I created the DX4WIN extract ADIF 
file, or does it get filled in when  I import the "upload confirmed QSOs"?

In other words - it DX4WIN's  "upload date" tracking when I _sent_ the QSOs 
to ARRL's big database, or  when I _receive_ a confirmation that one of mine 
got a match? And... what  action on my part actually enters the date? {please 
don't suggest that I  have to hand-enter 1,961 dates... ;-}
