According to lpdf-mis.lmt about the "date" parameter:

    -- users should enter the date in 2010-01-19T23:27:50+01:00 format
    -- and if not provided that way we use the creation time instead

I can get this format also with `date --iso-8601=seconds` or the shorter
`date -Iseconds`.

So this works:


    \setupinteraction[state=start,
      date={2022-02-02T12:00:21+02:00}]
    \starttext
    This document is from 02.02.2020 at 12:00:21.
    \stoptext

This parameter sets the "ModDate" is that what you are after?

Seems that "CreationDate" could be set by the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
environment variable, but I am not succesfull with it right now.
