Hello Chris, You can try adding this Template Toolkit to your HOLD notcice:
[%- new_waitingdate = manip.DateCalc( hold.waitingdate, '4 days later' ) -%] [%- formatted_new_waitingdate = manip.UnixDate(date_prev,"%m/%d/%Y") -%] Hold not available until: [% formatted_new_waitingdate %] For this to work you should also add the following to the very top of the slip: [%- USE date -%] [%- manip = date.manip -%] Alternatively, if you want your date to be in the past instead of the future you can change the syntax to look like this: [%- new_waitingdate = manip.DateCalc( hold.waitingdate, '4 days ago ) -%] Good luck!
