I mean that I wish either to assign the current timestamp to a variable in the <br>
format 2022-11-02 12:34:56.789789, or to find a system variable which will <br>
provide this when I reference something like ${now}.<br>
<br>

<br>
As a workaround until I find out how to do this the correct way, the following <br>
command does what I want, however I suspect it's not very efficient:<br>
<br>
<action<br>
application="set"<br>
