Hi

how do I create a text expansion which will insert the current date or time? I could not find any syntax about that.

Try this - select Automation for the Method, then the Script tab:
Code:
var d = new Date();
sp.SendString(`${d.getFullYear()}-${("0"+(d.getMonth()+1)).slice(-2)}-${("0"+d.getDate()).slice(-2)} `
                     + `${("0"+d.getHours()).slice(-2)}:${("0"+d.getMinutes()).slice(-2)}`);

Code:

Thanks for the script, very useful. I'd been looking for something like this, I used to be able to do it via PhraseExpress software, but am no longer using it.
