https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/can-a-variable-be-used-in-a-tool-input-in-a-task/m-p/1620483#M96291 <P>In a task step I have a new child version being created. I would like the version name to be formatted as prefix_YYMMDDHHMM. The prefix would stay the same and the datetime would automatically populate. I know I can do this in a model quite easily with Calculate Value and using the output of that as part of the Create Version tool input but I would like to try to do this with a Task for my end users. I could create a model and have the step just run that but that is extra content to distribute.&nbsp;</P> Tue, 03 Jun 2025 16:04:34 GMT cmathers 2025-06-03T16:04:34Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/can-a-variable-be-used-in-a-tool-input-in-a-task/m-p/1620483#M96291 <P>In a task step I have a new child version being created.
