Use Date Variables in Templates

Docs created from templates can automatically use the current date, here is how it works.

How it works

Type {date}  in your template title to get the current day, every time it gets clonedSparkles. 
It will work in templates or in any document you duplicate. 

Formatting

By default, the date will look something like this: Dec 22, 2022.
You can set the format to what you want, by indicating it in the tag: {date:dd/MM}, with any standard date format.

The list of compatible formats can be found  here .

Limitations

A couple of things to note: 
  • for now, the date templating only works in the document title.
  • and it uses the current date, so if you create your meeting 2 days in advance you might want to stick to a format using only the week such as {date:ww/MM} to use the week number for instance.
