== Question about sigs in this template ==

I'm looking to add a signature option to {{t|Dashboard.wikiedu.org assignment}} using this template so that if someone adds the template, a bot can subst the call and return the original template call plus the user's signature (or maybe even just a timestamp). However, I am concerned that adding in something dynamic like a timestamp will cause issues if the template is substed. Basically, I'm not sure how to code it so that it gives accurate information that stays static after substing. Example:
*<code><nowiki>{{dashboard.wikiedu.org assignment | course = Wikipedia:Example | assignments = [[User:Primefac]] | start_date = 2022-01-24 | end_date = 2022-05-13 }}</nowiki></code>
*{{dashboard.wikiedu.org assignment | course = Wikipedia:Example | assignments = [[User:Primefac]] | start_date = 2022-01-24 | end_date = 2022-05-13 }}
Substing the template call would ideally give something like
*{{dashboard.wikiedu.org assignment | course = Wikipedia:Example | assignments = [[User:Primefac]] | start_date = 2022-01-24 | end_date = 2022-05-13 }} 08:16, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
This is primarily to allow for archiving when the course is over (because at current, sections [[Talk:GLAAD#Wiki_Education_assignment:_Gender_and_Technoculture|like this]] won't ever be archived). Please let me know how far off the mark I am. Thanks! [[User:Primefac|Primefac]] ([[User talk:Primefac|talk]]) 08:17, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
: The module already has a magic value <code><nowiki>__DATE__</nowiki></code> that is replaced with the current month and year when adding the parameter while substing. This is used in maintenance templates. [[User:Anomie|Anomie]][[User talk:Anomie|⚔]] 11:44, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
::Right, I guess it's just a question of how I can best use that to include a timestamp for archival purposes... [[User:Primefac|Primefac]] ([[User talk:Primefac|talk]]) 14:08, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
