Is there a way to specify with the Conditional Plugin, to compare a field against the current date?
I am performing a daily import from an XML that updates a field with the current date.
I then perform a daily export to a CSV and would like to check that field to see if it is the current date or not.
I need to set each row that equals to the current date as "Published".

Hi Scott,

There is no option to specify the current date as conditional check automatically. The only option you have is to specify the date yourself, which I understand is not what you want for an automated export.

However if you have a date, you would also need to specify the date format to use for comparison and you get to deal with timezones. This makes such change not as trivial as it sounds. Certainly it is something we can look into for adding it but need to see how. Most likely we can reuse the date settings from the template or have to add them to the rule as well.
Kind regards,

RolandD
