You are not incrementing the adate counter , try below
{% set adate = adate + time.delta(days=num) %}
Optional
time.today will generate date at utc time . Using time zone help , I generally do
{{ (time.now|timezone('Asia/Calcutta'))|date_ymd('-') }}
Hope this helps.
All thanks @Quick Base Junkie for awesome jinja training

Hi Prashant,
I only want to run 5 times, using the variable Adate to add one more day each cycle.
I saw your post " Jinja using a counter inside loop". I think I got the same issue. Trying to approach it as you suggested, however, I am dealing with a date field, when using namespace feature, it has a syntax error. Thanks!

One reason I don't use the counter is:
here I just present a simple example. In the actual scenario, the variable will change to weekday if the date is following into weekend. So day 1="9/23/2023", it will changed to "9/25/2023", the day2 will be "9/26/2023".

------------------------------Maybe some more context to what you are trying will help me answer. Some general tidbits
- You can always use a if condition inside your loop to check for weekend , in fact I just learned this THIS POST .
- With weekends , you want five run and want to remember the last generated day , definitely namespace worthy
- Maybe you can break it down by first just letting it generate 5 days regardless of weekends , if it works then incorporate namespace slowly

------------------------------Hi Prashant, yes, read that post! Wonderful post! That's the reason I'd like to check each date, then get the weekday, then add one day from the previous date.
