yeah you can change the format to below

${now():format("yyyyMM")}

will gives you only year and month.

In addition you make use any combination in EL in date manupulations with now():-

yyyy //gives only the year
MM //month
dd //date 
HH//hours
mm // minutes from time (MM are for month)
ss // seconds SSS //milliseconds

Examples:-

1.year with month

${now():format("yyyy-MM")}

output:-

2017-10

2.Hour with minute

${now():format("HH:mm")}

Output:-

16:17

3.year with minutes

${now():format("yyyymm")}

output:-

201713 //13 because minute from current time stamp

4.year with date

${now():format("yyyydd")}

output:-

201717 //year with today's date

@Shu I was just reading the docs found out ${now():format('yyyy')}. Thanks for the quick response. Much appreciated.
