For me personally it would be usefull to have a plain year token like "{{system.year}}" to return the current year. This would be very usefull in creating email and landing page footers and not having to go and manually update the year in all templates you are using.

    Hi Gregoire,

    Can you please share code for the Velocity script? Or other methodology where this can be accomplished.

    $date.format(
      "yyyy",
      $date,
      $date.getLocale(),
      $date.getTimeZone().getTimeZone("America/New_York")
    )

    Substituting your time zone.

    The Ideas space isn't best for support (you'll notice in particular there is no code syntax highlighter, which is terrible) so please open new threads in Products instead. You can link back to an Idea for context.

    We use a folder level token at the top level of our Marketing Activities. It doesn't totally solve the problem, but you can just update the token once a year instead of updating all the templates.
