Why is {{timestamp "L"}} (or any format) throwing an error "... Missing helper: "timestamp ..."
I need to set a field to the current date in my Import mapping. I added the expression:
{{timestamp "L"}}
which results in the error:
Message: Could not compile handle bar "{{timestamp "L"}}" because "Missing helper: "timestamp"" .Please correct and retry
I also tried the two examples in the handlebar helper page:
{{timestamp HH:MM:SS "America/Los_Angeles"}}
which resulted in the same error:
Message: Could not compile handle bar "{{timestamp HH:MM:SS "America/Los_Angeles"}}" because "Missing helper: "timestamp"" .Please correct and retry
I don't get it, why the error? Am I wrong to thing this helper should be available in the Import mapping context?
As a workaround I used
{{dateFormat "L" timeStamp}}
Hopefully someone can shed some light on this.

Hey Steve,
We have a bug logged for this and we are fixing this in an upcoming release.
You can use `{{{timeStamp "L"}}}`(with a capital S) for now or the dateFormat helper.

Hi Uma Lakshmi Kanth Garimella,
My colleague David Gollom was telling me something about this workaround and I could swear I tried capital Stamp, but still got the error - either way, I just tried it again (per your suggestion) and indeed no error was thrown, BUUUUUUTTtt....... I do get an unexpected result:
{{timeStamp "L"}}Yields:
2022-08-15T21:44:25-07:00
The Celigo help for the format strings shows "L" as
09/04/2020
When I use workaround:
{{dateFormat "L" timeStamp}}I get:
08/15/2022
Which is expected. Is this a bug, or do the format strings behave differently in different contexts?

I should have logged something when I found that timestamp vs. timeStamp issue last year. Sorry i was lazy.
