Hi,
Is there a neat way to include the current date and time in a file name when publishing via tasks -- to avoid overwriting existing output.
When I tried to set up a publishing task with a variable <%DATE%> H&M crashed with an invalid character in file name error.
Publishing task filename

Re: Publishing task filename
Hi John,
Sorry, variables aren't supported there at the moment but it's not a bad idea. However, the date variables would have to be reformatted to avoid invalid characters in the filenames, so it would need to be a special custom solution. So it's noted for consideration but wouldn't be a quick addition...
