marcr Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I would like to know if it is possible to place a function or formula like =Date() or {date()} or =Date("y""m) into the user variable field, see image Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I believe these "User variables" are only plain Dictionary like structure based text key/value pairs and that there probably aren't any other predefined functions you can make use of here. - So your path component string will look in this case only like this: "<Slice name>-fb-{date()}". - Though predefined date and time related variables or some expandable functions would be useful to have here.

R C-R Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 From what I can tell, "User variables" accept most literal Unicode character strings as values (the double quote & perhaps a few others are not allowed) but not expressions, formulas, or functions. So (at least on a Mac) export file names like "Time Capsule callout ⌥ ⌘ ⌦.png" can be created, but I can't see much use for this.
