How to use the CURRENTDATETIME string for Document Sharing within PVE WorkFlow WorkStep

Summary

Summary:
Improper configuration of the CURRENTDATETIME within the Document Grant/Sharing string in a WorkFlow email can cause problems. This shows you how to properly configure the string to avoid these issues.

Description:
When using the CURRENTDATETIME string for a Document Grant/Sharing, within a workstep that sends an email, the text/string needs to be encapsulated with brackets. Other methods can cause the automation service to halt, preventing any later WorkFlow Status queue items from processing.

When using the CURRENTDATETIME string in the Send Email Workflow Automated WorkStep, the string needs to be encapsulated in brackets [ ] as shown in the body of example WorkStep email settings screen below:

DO NOT use the less than < and greater than > symbols instead of brackets [ ] e.g.; This will cause it to stay in the WorkFlow queue indefinitely. It should look like the screenshot above in order to function correctly.
