Pipeline Date and Date Time Syntax

I have been searching for the Syntax to match

Today()
Now()

in Jinja for Pipelines.

Somebody must have solved this already.

    Ms. Quickbase Junkie seems to be the whiz at this Jinja syntax.

    https://www.quickbasejunkie.com/blog/today-is-bad-jinja?cid=53168938-c32c-4476-a6c3-2c3ae26c87d8

    I believe its {{time.today}}
    and {{time.now}}

    But there may be some nuances of what the time zone is.  Sharon says in her blog that you need to specify the time zone, but then I did a Pipeline without specifying the time zone ( for my purposes it did not matter) that and it did work in the time zone of the app.

      Mark,

      Thanks for the push to her blog post on this.   I am going to bookmark it.

      I can see there is a suitably complex level of syntax here.   What was once simple in QB  is now complicated.  However that is the price for the increased power.
