Hmm, are you sure you want to do that? You may want to explain in more details as we are not mind readers.

Anyway... just setup a global transformation !?

The expression [fx] editor would look something like (change format string as needed)

In the exported JSON it would look like:

"action":	"RENAME_TABLE",
"name":	"Rename table 1",
"expression":	"$AR_M_SOURCE_TABLE_NAME || 
 strftime('%Y%m%d','now', 'localtime')",
"column":	{
	"where_column_name":	"%",
	"new_data_type":	"kAR_DATA_TYPE_STR",
	"where_sub_data_type":	"KAR_SUB_DATA_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED",
	"new_sub_data_type":	"KAR_SUB_DATA_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED"
},
"sub_action":	"RENAME_EXPRESSION",
"to_value":	"$AR_M_SOURCE_TABLE_NAME || strftime('_%Y%m%d','now', 'localtime')"

 

Good luck
