Download file doesn’t allow variables

The Download files action does not allow variables to be used in the file name that is being saved .

Tried to use {YEAR}-{MONTHNO}-{DAY}.xml as the file name of a file I
download from a website but the variable names are not replaced with
the values.

Can this be changed to allow this?
