The StartDate setting value of the current script being run
Notes
The date is returned as both a number (yyyymmdd) and a string (formatted).
For example Days(?StartDate, ?EndDate) can be used to count the days of the current test.
If a script includes run-mode-specific Settings Sections,the return value will reflect the setting from the section corresponding with the mode the script is running in.
For example, if ScanSettings has StartDate: 2024-01-01 and TestSettings has StartDate: 2020-01-01, ?StartDate will be return the former if the script was run by pressing Scan, or the latter if the script was run by pressing Test.
If there is no mode-specific StartDate setting for the current run mode, the value from Settings is used and returned. If there is no Settings: EndDate either, the first date from the Settings Panel is used.
