Set Output file name as Current Date Time

I have a workflow that will be run non-periodically and I need to log the time and date in the filename itself. Something like DDMMYYYY_HHMMSS.csv

 

Multiple posts in the forums suggest using formula tool etc. in the middle of the workflow to create a new field and go on to take filename from the field value. However, I do not want to contaminate my output data with a useless column. Ought exist some easier way to do this.

If you opt out this option, the new created File Name Field will not be outputted.

@Biswarun as @Qiu mentioned you need to un check the Keep Field in output so that this field will not appear in your output data
