Currently ${NOW} returns a timestamp using the format %Y%m%d-%H%M%S. The ${TODAY} uses the format specified by the standard UTC format only %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S UTC. This provides the modeler no flexibility for using alternative formats.
Proposed solution
Add the ability to include the today in the ${NOW} pseudo-global, e.g., ${NOW FORMAT}.
