Set variable to current date

Would be nice to be able to set a variable to the current date (with a specified date format). I don't believe this is possible today (without adding a custom script task to do it)

Bit outdated now but you can use the pipeline.startTime variable.

Example where I formatted it too variables: timestamp: $[format('{0:yyyyMMddHHmmss}', pipeline.startTime)]

but pipeline.startTime changes per stage of the pipeline
