Rename output file from transform data

It would be quite helpful to be able to automatically rename output based on data in the last transformation (choosing a specific row/column data) and to be able to add to the output file custom format date/time information such as [YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss] or [YYYY-MM] or other.

you can do so already:

You need just to generate a columns with the (path) filename which should be used for extract. It can be a single file. I build it for example on the input Meta info, like date, etc.

You can use the Multi Files output option to set the file name from the data. Usually this is used to split a dataset into multiple files, but it could be used to output it to 1 file. See:

Example 2: Split according to row values

And you can use file name variables to include the timestamp.
