Human readable time format related to posix

Currently I add the creation time of an org-file via date: %U.

I would like to have your modification time also as %U or another one of the datetime format string options (e.g. %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S).

Would be great to have a solution for that.

Hmmm I'm not sure if you understand exactly what you mean: would you like to be able to add these timestamps to your org-roam-templates, and want a % string for that?

Yes I want to use the mtime in an org-roam-tempalte. And of course it should be updated everytime the existing org-file is modified.

Currently the result looks like this

Red, Green, Refactor

:ID:    3a59f870-f57f-4aa9-bc3e-58ca2bed7a93
:ctime: 20210911173359
:mtime: 20210929191008 20210929174704

I would like to have something like this

Red, Green, Refactor

:ID:    3a59f870-f57f-4aa9-bc3e-58ca2bed7a93
:ctime: 2021-09-11 17:33:59
:mtime: 2021-09-29 19:10:08 2021-09-29 17:47:04

Or an alternative 2021-11-20 Sa 21:14.

My default template looks is this using %U for the creation date. But I would like to add a modification date there, too.

     ("d" "default" plain  ; default incl. date
      "%?"
      :if-new (file+head "%<%Y%m%d%H%M%S>-${slug}.org"
			 "#+title: ${title}\n+date: %U")
      :unnarrowed t)
