Use a field value in modify

The modify option supports nested merge tags: write a merge tag with *| and |* instead of curly brackets to use a value from the entry.

{gwp_date_updated modify="+*|Number of days:3|* days" format="d-m-Y"}

gwp_date_updated needs an entry, so it works in notifications, confirmations, GravityView, Gravity Flow and other places that run after submission.
