[DateTime] How to put today's date automatically?

Hi guys!

I am struggling with trying to put today's date automatically in a formula

My idea is to create a formula that respects this format: ddMMyyyy

I tried to create a custom DateTime, but no success..

Have you tried DateTimeNow() or DateTimeToday()? Both of these will return today's date which you can then format as you would like.
