Hello,

I need to have current date in subject in e-mail sent by Elastic Watcher at the moment I have code like below:

`"subject": " {{ctx.trigger.scheduled_time}}Exposure Report is available"`

and the Result is ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/3/f389f6a42180e911e432a99bc1b5e8077ef7de88.png)

which is not correct because my time zone is +2h to this from screenshoot.  
I would like to know if there is possiblity to somehow format date in {{ctx.trigger.scheduled\_time}}? Or maybe just take date with only YYYY-mm-dd this option is also acceptable for me, but prefered format is YYYY-mm-DD HH:mm and my time zone in Europe/Warsaw.

Regards,  
Piotr

You can create [an "advance watch"](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.8/watcher-create-advanced-watch.html) and use [context transform](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/painless/current/painless-watcher-transform-context.html) to [format](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/painless/master/painless-datetime.html) date
