How do you add a date to an Oracle Data Visualization Desktop report/analytics in a title in a Visualize/Narrate

Content

I am trying to figure out how to add a date to an Oracle Data Visualization Desktop report/analytics in a title in a Visualize/Narrate/Canvas.

I apologize in advance if this is an obvious question/answer, but have looked and have not figured out a way to just add a date to a report title. I tried to add the CURRENT_DATE in an expression in a calculation, but it wants a range and treats it like a parameter/filter. What I want to do is just a variable that has the current/system date assigned to it like you would in OBIEE.

If anyone has done this, please let me know how - maybe I need to do a plug-in, but have not done one yet.

TIA,

Tried that as well recently and won't work. Current_Date works perfectly fine as a calculation (not sure why you get an error or what exactly) but you can not use that calculation in a Text Box visualization and also not into a Page Title.

So long story short: Not possible at the moment.
