Capability to use current datetime in data designer/rules engine


Similar to the Run Date formula, but for the Start Time it was successfully executed last, showing in the end user’s configured Time Zone just as the rest of the DateTime fields work.
 



Besides some specific use cases for rules engine to calculate hours past I see this particularly useful in dataspaces, so the end users can easily know when it was last updated.  I find myself replying to the question “has DB XYZ run yet?” or “why is this record missing from the database ABC” almost on a daily basis. 

I know this is a challenge and there a lot of moving pieces, but having a Created DateTime if needed to at least give our end users (and us Admins) visibility into the age of a record would be very helpful.
Thank you,
