Persisting expression from templates into instances without execution

Hello folks - I am sure this is written on the forum or the wiki somewhere. But despite numerous grepping and searching attempts, I couldn’t locate the right syntax to do what I want to do.

In short, I want to persist an expression from a meta template to its instances.

Example:
Imagine we have the template below

${os.date('%Y')}

Once we create this template, we would have

2025

as the output.

However, what I really want as the output is the raw expression preserved and not evaluated at “comp” time.

${os.date('%Y')}

I’d appreciate any help!

In your template use ${"$"}{os.date('%Y')}
