#pick problem with colons
 
#PICK uses the colon in the caption:command syntax. Any way to get around this? I'm assuming not, because %quote(), %literal(), %expand(), or even %char(58) work...

If that's the case, I'll have to rework the trigger or figure out what I can do with the timestamp.

Tried a whack of things and didn't get anything useful.

What about using a %replace on the time colons?

I already knew about that one, but I didn't like how it displayed (hence my question to see if there was a way I just wasn't seeing).

Anyways, I totally reworked the trigger so that the two lines that contained a timestamp were handled separately (this trigger just looks at the time, compares it to today's date, and changes it to "(Updated)" or "(Not updated)" as needed.)
