Description

trigger (and elsewhere) function date() could be expanded. currently it only returns date in YYYYMMDD format, which does not allow, for example, easily comparing something like date()<14

ideally it would accept format specifiers in the parameters, not unlike 'date' commandline utility

what would date()<14 do ?
digging in my memory, that would be duplicated by dayofmonth(). have to think a bit what else might be useful

ok, so accepting format specifiers would be the goal

Im monitoring monthly payments and have an alert on a minimum of those. Subscriptions can be started on any date and are extended every month. But as February only has 29 (or 28) days, the next month (March) on the 30th and 31th there are very little payments. I would therefore like to not have this alert trigger on the last days of March. Currently there is no Monthofyear trigger function, I would like to suggest either adding that or implementing this very flexible date format function which would allow me to use date('MMDD')<>'0330'.
