Snippet placeholders {date}, {time}, {datetime} do not expand.

Hi there

 

I noticed another bug which is easily recreated.

I cannot use snippet placeholders {date}, {time}, {datetime}. I tried to type them in MS Word, in Apple Notes and nothing happens.

 

At the same time, the other added snippet collection expands okay, e.g. (exclamation mark)human expands as: "To err is human, to blame it on somebody else shows management potential." - Anonymous

@salimanov Could you please share the snippet you've created? These placeholders must be used in a snippet (created in Alfred's Preferences > Features >Snippets), and won't expand if they're simply typed into a Word document.

 

You can install the "Dynamic Placeholders" example snippet collection here to see how the dynamic content can be used within a snippet:
