I have a new attribute named EXPORT_YEAR. I want the Attribute Value to automatically change to 2026 at 12:00AM Jan 1, 2026. Until then it will stay 2025. Is this possible? if yes, what expression do I use?
Solved

If you need to get the current year when the workspace is run, DateTimeStamper might help you.
Or, you can also use this expression to retrieve the current year.

Why not inspect features with Visual/Data Preview and Feature/Record Information before writing them into a destination dataset?
