Since Helm v3 built-in object .Release.Time is removed.
What is the preferred way of injecting a release time into a template now?

All I've found so far is this thread: https://github.com/helm/helm/issues/5732 – Aleksandr Erokhin Apr 10 '20 at 13:07

It looks like one of the sprig date functions is the way to go now.
For example:
metadata:
annotations:
timestamp: {{ now | quote }}

2At least from the implementation standpoint, using now always returns a new value while the .Release.time might not (from a quick code read, it looks like its getting initalizied once). Depending on what you do with 'now' it might not be the same as .Release.time – sigi Aug 17 '21 at 13:39
