Is there a way to add a date to workbench update
Is there a way to add a schema column for date for when the data was sent over?
From what I've seen, this is not possible, but there may be an optinon I missed or a workaround with SQL
For example, the Google Analytics connector adds a _BATCH_LAST_RUN_ column, which is similar to what I want but for workbench jobs. This would indicate when the data came through, which would be very beneficial for datasets without dates. I could use this date for trending analysis.
Say I have a dataset come through daily like this:
City | Count |
New York City | 2 |
The next day, it comes through like this:
City | Count |
New York City | 4 |
If I append the data, it will be like this:
City | Count |
New York City | 2 |
New York City | 4 |
There is no way to differentiate the days each row came through.
My ideal state would be every update, it would be something like this:
City | Count | Date |
New York City | 2 | 11/1/2016 |
New York City | 4 | 11/2/2016 |

You can use the Workbench transformations to add a column that inserts the current date. This should give you the date column you're looking to add.

Thank you @nicolasfeddern! I found it after poking around more.
Didn't know it was under the 'Calculated Field Transform' type.
