Variables in "Output Path" for automatic Output Folder Creation

Greetings,
So I am recording a ton of Videos of a Daily live event I am hosting through OBS.

Problem:
As of now OBS does not support Variables (eg. %DD) in the Output File PATH, only in the custom Output File NAME

My Goal:

Automated folder creation based on variables so that recordings will be sorted in correct sub-folders automatically.

e.g.

C:\\path\to\my\files\Program_Name\Day_%DD

Meaning, I would like a folder to be created based on the Day of the Program.
Otherwise I have to manually change it every day, which is not a huge task, but my Volunteers have forgotten it multiple times, which then lead to multiple days' recordings being mixed in the same folder and me having to go back to sort them afterwards.

So It would be great if Variables (and folder creation) could be added to the Output Path Settings.

Thanks to all the Contributors,
and everyone who reads this,
have a wonderful Day.

Actually I got to find out that you CAN create folders, by adding them into the file name field with a backslash.

e.g.

Day %DD\%CCYY-%MM-%DD %hh-%mm-%ss

Will create my desired outcome.

So it already works.

Thanks to everyone who makes this possible.
