What is the best practise approach to manipulating dates?
Given
/now = ${time:now()}
I would like to modify “/now” to be -1/+1 Days and/or hours from the current timestamp.
the only examples i could find of this are to first convert the date into milliseconds then followed by adding or subtracting the required number of Milliseconds to achieve the desired result (Looking for a better way to achieve this)

hi
I suggest looking at creating custom function using Java. You can provide parameter like value ( +/- number of hours/days/months/year) and another parameter that takes the value like HOUR/DAY/MONTH/YEAR
