Is it possible to use Alfred to create a snippet/clipboard entry that pastes today's date in the format yyyy-mm-dd?

Hi

 

I'm a long time user of Alfred, but most of its capabilities pass me by: I'm no programmer so I use what is up front, obvious and available. I have tried to play with workflows but not very successfully. So we now know my profile/level. 🙂

 

But I'm trying to find a way to shortcut today's date into a number of filenames, documents, etc, in the format yyyy-mm-dd, so 2021-03-14. I thought it might be something that Alfred offers. And it might but I can't see anything obvious in the options. But that's probably me being technically shortsighted. Before I spend hours trying to find something that doesn't exist or try to configure something that isn't possible I'd really welcome some guidance about whether Alfred has the capability to make this possible. It's probably worth adding that I don't want to change the system date to this format. 

 

Many thanks

TJ
