notification message today's date

[jack_zheng]

HI

Is there an easy to insert today's day and date into the body of a notification?   Format will be Tuesday, September 27, 2016

Thanks

Hi Jack,

"Easy" is a relative term to this crowd. You can do it with a fairly simple mail script. If you're using the v2 mail format, create a notification script.

template.print(gs.nowDateTime());

Save it with a name like 'current_date_and_time'

Call it from within your mail notification like this:

${mail_script:current_date_and_time}

Format will default to the system default. If you want to change format, you can extend the script using the GlideDateTime object and create your own.

This does not work for quick messages.  We need a way to simply at today's date to quick messages.
