title: How do I format {{$timestamp}} as MM/DD/YYYY in Postman?
body: <p>In Postman, the <a href="https://www.getpostman.com/docs/postman/environments_and_globals/variables#dynamic-variables" rel="noreferrer">dynamic variable</a> <code>{{$timestamp}}</code> inserts the current <a href="https://www.unixtimestamp.com/" rel="noreferrer">Unix Time Stamp</a> into a request. (Represented as the number of seconds since January 1, 1970)</p>
  
  <pre><code>"currentTime": "1510934784"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, the API I am working with expects timestamps formatted as <code>MM/DD/YYYY</code>.</p>
  
  <pre><code>"currentDate": "11/17/2017"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I insert the current date (formatted as <code>MM/DD/YYYY</code>) into my request with Postman?</p>
