Hello! I'm working on a project in which I need to include the current year (not the date of the event). A data tag would be ideal since my solution needs to be in text, but I can't seem to find one or a way to make one. How would I go about this?

Baylee,

If you have access to Custom Data Tags. Admin > General > Custom Data Tags you should be able to create your own. 

We use a custom data tag for our current year as well.

Hi James,

Does there need to be anything in the plain text field? I made the tag but unfortunately when I put it on the event website, it shows up as empty.

Thanks for your insight on this!

Probably the best advice is to use the code widget and just drop the code into it: <script type="text/javascript">document.write(new Date().getFullYear())</script> especially with JavaScript.

I think the custom widget doesn't like JavaScript
