Function field to calculate future date - to use in response template

[ArpitaVK]

I am working on a response template for an HR case, where I have to print the (hire date + 2 days) date; where hire date = employment start date on the HR profile. For this requirement, I have created a function field with type date on the HR case table. Can someone guide me on how to calculate this date dynamically to populate it in the response template?

@ArpitaVK 

so you want to show dynamic value i.e. hire date + 2 days there in response template?

not possible

Workaround: Create a date field and store Hire Date + 2 Days in that, then use that in your response template

The functional field does not provide a future date, but creating a new field is also a customization. Please check if there is any existing field available in the HR case that you can use for this purpose. Avoid customization as it will increase technical debt. @ArpitaVK
