Wildcard Output Data Tool

I know you can use the wildcard function with the input data tool but I've been having issues using it with the output data tool. Is this possible? The file I'm outputting to has the current quarter + current fiscal year at the beginning of the file name. The rest of the file name does not change. Ideally, I would like to avoid having the user rename the file and find a way to output to a dynamic file name.

@npatrick I dont think output tool support the wildcard function but in your use case you can create the output path using the formula tool to make it dynamic. Calculate the current quarter and current fiscal year then append it with your file name
