Add Date to Family Instance

Hi I’m trying to add a date to an instance of a family that will give the date that the instance was added to the model. Is this possible. I’ve had a go and can’t get it to work

Check the object type on DateTime.Now. More than likely you’ll need to convert it to some type that can be accepted by the Parameter (string?).

try using a string from object node to convert the date to a string.

what is the data container setting for the parameter? it has to be text to accept a string text.
