I have a stamp with a date in it. The user fills out the date the drawing should be returned, which is always +14 days from when they inserted the stamp & published the drawing. I'd like to create a field that reads todays date and add 14 days to it. Does anyone know if this is possible in a text field?
In excel it would be "=(TODAY()+14)". I just don't know of a diesel equivalent.

Try the following DIESEL expression (change the formatting to suit):
$
(edtime,$
(+,$
(getvar,date
),
14),
"dd mon yyyy")

Will try your method.

Not quite the result I was expecting. I edited to this...
$
(edtime,$
(+,$
(getvar,date
),
14),
"MM-DD-yyyy")
With the intention of getting a 09-22-2021 result. However, my result turned out to be 10-22-2021

I think you want:
$
(edtime,$
(+,$
(getvar,date
),
14),MO
-DD
-YYYY
)

Giving it a shot. Will let you know tomorrow.

I would suggest consulting the documentation (http://help.autodesk.com/view/ACD/2018/ENU/?guid=GUID-F94A885A-4DA2-432B-AC1A-EB49CC6C1C72) for the DIESEL edtime function in order to understand the appropriate value to use for the picture argument. As noted in the documentation, "MM" will yield the number of minutes.

Do not wrap your MO-DD-YYYY in quotes.
<snip>The following example uses the date and time from the preceding table. Notice that the comma must be enclosed in quotation marks because it is read as an argument separator.

My bad, I was looking at this.

Understood.
Thanks to both of you. I'll check my results Monday.
