Adam Zalt
Please add the ability to choose 'Date' and 'Time' as a node type to the math components. Example use case: A user wanting to subtract one date from another in order to get the difference in time (days).

Some updates to this thread. After a discussion with our engineering team, adding support for
date
as a data type would not alone enable users to use our existing Subtract
component to find the difference between two dates.We've discussed creating a new component specifically for finding the difference between two dates that would look something like the following. You would pass in a couple dates and set a
unit
of measure in the state
tab. The difference
would be output from the component.Dates
in this case would probably still be strings
in the near term.

Brian Lichliter: Would this also include days in the future? for example if we had a booking form with a check in date, for x days, we'd know from that when their checkout date was

michael francois: Ahh yup, I'll add that to the scope of this thread.
