        <DestProp>_Timestamp</DestProp>

Remarks

The actual value of the Type tag is irrelevant. The ptype is examined to determine the property type of SourceProp and DestProp.

This is not the correct plug-in to use if the assignment of a literal value to a property is needed. For literal value assignments, see the PropGen or the Ruleset plug-in documentation.
