Hi Andrey,

With Substitution Enabled, you can use String Registers for the name.
See:
https://docs.originlab.com/labtalk/guide/labtalk-substitution-notation/
https://docs.originlab.com/labtalk/guide/string-registers/

To get the date of the project file, you can use the exist() function.

E.g.
exist(%X%G.%@Q,5) //%X%G.%@Q is the full project filepath.

And convert it to a date string and set it to a String register:
%B=date2str(exist(%X%G.%@Q,5),"MM_dd_yyyy")$;

Then in the Graph export dialog, you can use %B for the File Name.

Best,
Chao

Hello Andrey,

For current date-time, you can use @D.

To have it set on Project Save for a Project, you can use this code under the [BeforeSaveDoc] section of ProjectEvents.ogs:

%B=date2str(@D,"MM_dd_yyyy")$;

https://docs.originlab.com/labtalk/guide/projectevents-script/

If you want to do this for ALL projects, you can go to Help>Open folder> Program Folder and open MACROS.CNF and paste:

Def BeginSave {%B=date2str(@D,"MM_dd_yyyy HH mm")$;};

You will likely need admin privilege to save this file.
Then, whenever you save the project file, it will run the script automatically.

See: https://docs.originlab.com/labtalk/ref/beginsave-macro/

Best,
Chao
