how to access current date and time in avd for cv_deploy

[kmueller68]

Hello.

I would like to set custom names for cv_deply workspace and change-control names.
This names should include the current date and time.

How could I achieve this?
Is there any variable available by default to access it?

This is just an example, what I would like to do:

        cv_workspace_name: "de: lan: config change at {{ current_datetime }}"
        cv_change_control_name: "de: lan: config change at {{ current_datetime }}"

Thank you very much
Karlheinz

We just take it as a string, so you will need the {{ }} stuff to be resolved by Ansible first. So make sure it is valid jinja and the variables inside are available.

see the docs here for the available variables: https://avd.arista.com/5.7/ansible_collections/arista/avd/roles/cv_deploy/index.html#role-behavior-configuration
