HOLY COW.

Playing with this for the rest of the day…wonder what would happen if you said “Next Month” on January 30…would it say Feb 28 or Mar. 2? or neither?

EDIT:

- Minutes and hours work too.
  - 3 minutes ago
  - 10 min from now

- Month Abbreviations work (“Mar” = March 1)
- Week Abbreviations work (“Next Fri”)
- “This Morning” = 6am today
- “This Afternoon” = 3pm today
- “Tonight” = 10pm tonight
- “Next Tuesday at 9AM”
- “Feb 35” = ~~3/7/2021~~ Mar 7, 2021 🤣
- Works nicely in Set Value/Add Row Actions…though it didn’t capture the time…
