    One of the API calls I am making is a POST call that requires me to pass in the current time (in milliseconds) in the payload. Is there a good way to do this? Seems like the UI does not support this at the moment.

    I have a very similar issue. 

    We are trying to get daily checks in for out backup solution. 

    Currently we manually have to set the time we want to check and manually install a new management pack with the new date. 

    For example we have a query parameter of startTime ge "2025-06-29T00:00:00.000Z" and startTime lt "2024-06-30T00:00:00.000Z. This lets us filter down for those dates.

    We don't want to do this. We want to be able to say check backups for the last 24 hours so it can do it automatically but does not seem like I can query the time anywhere for this to work.

    Please can broadcom help!

    Hi @Joe Oakley --

    We don't support sending a current-time timestamp as part of an API request (in query params, body, or header) in MP Builder today. I've added it to our roadmap for a future version.

    Best regards,

    Mark
