I wanted to know: How can I get the current timestamp for UTC in ISO 8601 format to appear in the body data of a Postman request?

After reading some of the Postman documentation and online comments, this is the solution (using Postman v5.0.1 for Chrome 58.0.3029.110 on macOS 10.12.5) I used:

In the Builder, while editing a request, click the "Pre-request Script" heading below the URL field.

In the editor field that appears, enter this single line of JavaScript:

postman.setGlobalVariable('timestampUtcIso8601', (new Date()).toISOString());

	def find_key_in_nested_dict(d, target_key, path=None):
	if path is None:
	path = []

	for key, value in d.items():
	current_path = path + [key]

	if key == target_key:
	return current_path

	function print_filter(filter) {
	var f=eval(filter);
	if (typeof(f.length) != "undefined") {}else{}
	if (typeof(f.top) != "undefined") {f=f.top(Infinity);}else{}
	if (typeof(f.dimension) != "undefined") {f=f.dimension(function(d) { return "";}).top(Infinity);}else{}
	console.log(filter+"("+f.length+") = "+JSON.stringify(f).replace("[","[\n\t").replace(/}\,/g,"},\n\t").replace("]","\n]"));
	}

	browser = request.user_agent.browser
	version = request.user_agent.version and int(request.user_agent.version.split('.')[0])
	platform = request.user_agent.platform
	uas = request.user_agent.string

	if browser and version:
	if (browser == 'msie' and version < 9) \
	or (browser == 'firefox' and version < 4) \
	or (platform == 'android' and browser == 'safari' and version < 534) \
	or (platform == 'iphone' and browser == 'safari' and version < 7000) \
