Hi Diego
We’re looking into this.

Hi Diego
In the next build, the Server.Now property will support a Format function which takes a .net datetime format string, e.g :
$Server.Now.Format(“dd-MM-yyyy”)$

FWIW, we had always intended to support functions, in fact the parser was parsing the expression just fine, but it was never hooked up in the evaluator. Unfortunately the client intellisense doesn’t know about functions yet, so when you type $Server.Now. and select Format from the drop down list, it will autocomplete to $Server.Now.Format$ - so you will need to go back and add the brackets and parameter. The intellisense fix will have to come later.
