Strings and Integers in a Pipeline Date Calculations
I am trying to formulaically change a date with a Pipeline
If I hard code the change in the date it will work with the following expression
{{a.date +time.delta(days=2)}}
However if I use a variable
{{a.date +time.delta(days='a.numeric_field')}}
I get the error
Validation error: Incorrect template "{{a.date +time.delta(days='a.numeric_field')}}". TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'int' objects
The field a.date is the string and a.numeric_field is my integer
I have tried all sort of variations to convert the data type such as
However my syntax is aways wrong.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

- Hi Don, you need to specify the field without the quotes:
{{a.date +time.delta(days=a.numeric_field)}}
If a.date is a string and not a date, then you need to parse it:
{{time.parse(a.date) +time.delta(days=a.numeric_field)}}
Hope that helps!
