I’m trying to do something like this:

```auto
MyField.Name + "-" + [Creation Date]

```

Error: Cannot add Text and Date Time

Also, how do extract the Date in the format: YYYY-MM-DD ?

Thanks!

Combining types in to a string is currently being worked on, so not possible _yet_.  
As for the date formatting, I don’t know if it’s possible or will be.
