Ah yes, thanks for reminding me. Although it was purely for showing how I want to split the date per field. I haven't yet reached the point where I'm trying to reference actual fields.
I'm trying to see if some or even most of what I've described can be achieved with <$list filter>-ing through the text area input. Maybe combining splits, regexes and splitregexes. The other approach would be to code a JavaScript macro but that gets quite more complicated and is not as easy to play with until I get it right.
