It would be great to have a function to get current date and time. Timezone settings could be common for all users and maintained in the settings section

    I think it would be great if we could even have a function that called on UTC date and time. We could write a formula to convert based on model needs.

    The ability to garner a current date or date time is critical functionality in any project and most use cases. I may not be speaking for the entirety of the community, but Im guessing a sizable percentage of the modelers care less about the how and more about the function. With performance considerations (of course) any viable method to pull the current date and/or date time would be a drastic improvement over what is available today and something that allows us to get this information directly from the system without additional build means we're focused on delivering results as opposed to spending time and effort to produce this data. Please consider adding this functionality asap.

    @alexpavel Agreed - the idea should be merged into the one you showed me as that's exactly the same requirement I'm looking for. As community boss, can you do this?

     

    @angs75 Yep that's definitely a viable option whilst we don't have this sort of functionality!

    Good morning all,

    Time stamping will allow better traceability and therefore better quality! Roll on the year 2021 - the year 2020 is to be forgotten - COVID-19!

    I'd also like to request an update. It would be especially useful to setup an action using Cloudworks that takes the current date from in a specified time zone and update the Model Calendar. This currently requires a third party system to source the date.

    @zbunting totally agree :).

    Also, it would be possible to implement Current Date/Timestamp by creating a new action type.. see below link:
