title: Current date parameter in Azure DataFactory
body: <p>I have a pipeline in an Azure DataFactory context. This pipeline has a dataset which is a metadata table and this metadata table needs to be updated regularly. I can update the table using a query in a lookup activity.</p>
  <p>The column I need to update contains the date of the last trigger. So, I would like to ask if is there any way of getting the current date as a parameter in the pipeline. If so, I could insert the parameter in my query and update the table.</p>
