Greetings,

I have set up Text Expander snippets to do some date math for me, but in order to use them to create files, I need to pop over to Drafts or Launch Center Pro. Is there a way to do date math in Editorial, or using snippets? Outside of this is there a simple way to set up date math in a Python script? I need to input the date seven days from now and one month from now. Thoughts? Sorry I'm still on the front end of using Python.

Thank you!
Dan

I've made a custom action to do simple date math:

The logic for adding months ensures that the result date is always in the given calendar month, e.g. adding one month to Jan. 31 would result in Feb. 28/29.

I'd recommend saving this action as a preset (from the (▼) options), so you can use it in your own workflows.

Is there anyone's world that you can't rock? Thank you!

Hi, Can you please check the above link? Can't access the workflow page. Thanks
