What if somebody want to do this:
<adjust-date-time field="xDate" from-field="nowTimestamp" days="x"/>
<format-date field="xName" from-field="xDate" format="EEEE"/>
<log level="always" message="X days is ${xName}"/>
Output:
"X days is Wednesday"
We may want to add a field to the current date. Would it be possible?
