For both of these, select Automation from the Text Expansion Method dropdown, then use the appropriate script below. Date:Code:var d = new Date();
var dateString = ("0" + d.getDate()).slice(-2)
+ "."
+ ("0" + (d.getMonth()+1)).slice(-2)
+ "."
+ d.getFullYear();
sp.SendKeys(dateString);
Time:Code:var d = new Date();
var timeString = ("0" + d.getHours()).slice(-2)
+ ":"
+ ("0" + d.getMinutes()).slice(-2);
sp.SendKeys(timeString);
Note that the spacing so each segment is on a separate line isn't required, I just did that to make it easier to read. The "0" + and slice(-2) segments are to handle padding single digits, so 6 becomes 06. (d.getMonth()+1) : +1 is used because getMonth returns a 0-based value, e.g. January is 0 (zero) and December is 11. The script engine runs JavaScript in the Chrome V8 engine, so any compatible JavaScript to format date/time to strings is acceptable - there are dozens of different ways to achieve this.
