This wildcard allows you to generate a new date string by subtracting a specified number of days from today's date. The node takes an input integer, decrements it, and provides a new date.
For instance (today: 2024-01-24): {date.decrement.days.5} -> 19-01-2024
Ensure that the format of the resulting date conforms to the pattern YYYY-MM-DD if it is intended for use in another date-time node.
Convert Date Format from DD-MM-YYYY to YYYY-MM-DD
