Date Variable—"Next Thursday"?

Cof GRS December 24, 2021

Hi! Quick question:

Does Trello's Butler Variables allow you to post a date that would be calculated by finding the next nearest specific week day?

For example, let's say today is Thursday, 4/1. I would like to press a board button that automatically creates a card entitled "4/8 Agenda", composed by automatically calculating the date of the next nearest Thursday. Is there a variable command that would work for such a function? Something along the lines of {nextthursday_datenumber}?

Thanks!

Update: I've figured out how to do it so long as it is currently the week previous to the one in which you which to print the calculated date.

{date=4wd+7d~MM/DD}

Not sure how to get something like this to work no matter if your target date is 1 day or 7 days away...

Try this {date+8d=4wd~MM/DD} ....whether you want +8d or 7d will depends on how you want to treat the case for Thursday.
