$ISODATE$ placeholder in snippets
The $DATE$ placeholder is great, but it inserts a date string according to my (or the server's?) locale.
I would very much prefer a placeholder that always inserts the current date according to ISO 8601 (e.g. '2015-07-22').

Hi Bruno,
In the latest version of Prompt you can pass in a .NET style format string (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kb3ddd4.aspx) to the date placeholder eg. for the date you’ve given you could use ‘$DATE\(yyyy-MM-dd\)$’.
If you have any questions please let me know.

Apologies, it looks like UserVoice stripped out the brackets around the date format from my original reply. There's some examples of this on our help page here: https://documentation.red-gate.com/display/SP6/Managing+snippets#Managingsnippets-Usingplaceholders
