The below, assigned to a Text property, gives date in format yyyyMMdd:

@(Pega-RULES:DateTime).getCurrentDateStamp()

Adjusting solution given here as below, would give the desired format yyyy-MM-dd:

@FormatDateTime(@CurrentDateTime(),"yyyy-MM-dd","America/NewYork","en_US")

Tested on Pega Personal Edition 8.6.0 using Operator with Default locale "en_US" and Time zone America/New_York.
