You can use a placeholder - http://fabrikar.com/forums/index.php?wiki/placeholders/

So you could use the following to link to your date element, or maybe another element where is specify the date.

/software/{table___dateelement}

Actually i tried to use placeholders in the upload directory, and they dont work.
For example {table____element} doesn't work
but {$my->id} does

Placeholders like $ my-> id are working but I am pretty sure element placeholders don't - at least if it is an ajax fileupload, because the element is not necessarily defined at upload time.

Placeholders do work with fileuploads including ajax.

I used the fabrik created date time element calc_tests___date_time on list calc_test.

My upload directory is set to /images/stories/{calc_tests___date_time} and an uploaded file became http://.../images/stories/2014-08-15 23:24:07/20140719_131336.jpg.


You may not want the time included so you could create another date element without the time. You can have this hidden as well if you wish, you could then set the element to default to todays date. Then set the fileupload to use that elements placeholder.
