I need a variable/custom field to insert the current year (or another value) in a KB.

What is the challenge?

having to manually replace current year in KB

What is the impact?

wasting time and effort multiple times for something a computer should do

Describe your idea

Using a variable to insert the current year in the footer (or elsewhere) of a KB.

For example, instead of writing “©2024 The Descartes Systems Group Inc.” and manually changing it every year, I want the system to automatically display whatever the current year is (e.g., 2025). I imagine it would look like something like this: ©{{current_year}} The Descartes Systems Group Inc.

Might also be nice to have a custom field/tag that I could define and place throughout the KB and then change the value in one place (say it's the new year, so I only have to change it to 2025 in one place).
