How to add timestamp to the exported filename?

I have the latest updated Premier Pro. I'm working on a series of timelines within a project, all named things like Reel 01, Reel 02 and so on. All exports are done to a specific exports folder. When exporting the edits, so far, I manually add the date of export into the filename to so I can track changes by day. Is there a way to do that automatically, i.e. I type a command or a script into the filename once and it automatically adds the date (and/or time) of export everytime I click on the export button? I know lightroom is able to do that with exports, a drop down allows me to add date to the exported file name.

There are extensions and plug-ins that can help with that. But no internal option to auto add naming elements.

 

Which is very weird not to have.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

Does any specific extension or plug-in come to mind? A search did not reveal much.
