Snippet Date Arithmetic on Short Date

[patgilmour]

In Snippets I'm able to create a shortcut for today's date or date time 7 days from now with the simple syntax: `{date +7d}` and `{date time +7d}`

What I'm trying to do however is use the {date:short} snippet in the same way, so: `{date:short +7d}`

However this outputs: "11 (second: 38)"

My question: is there any way of using {date:short} with Snippet date arithmetic?

Thanks!

As can be seen in the docs for date arithmetic, the proper format is {date +7d:short}

Excellent - thanks for the pointer, Deanishe. There's a ton of other useful stuff in there too on Dynamic Placeholder that I hadn't seen.
