Is there a way to use dynamic dates in the rest-extractor plugin?

Question Copied

Is there a way to use dynamic dates in the rest-extractor plugin? <today> seems to be interpreted literally.

The configuration for the plugin is built and sent as a static set to the Netprobe. While some plugins support date placeholders (like FKM / FTM with <today> etc.), the REST Extractor currently lacks this functionality.
The REST Extractor plugin focuses on parsing and extracting data from JSON. It doesn’t have built-in functionality to handle dynamic values like the current date. That is why <today> is taken literally.
There is an enhancement request for the REST Extractor plugin to support functions that need to be imported from modules such as the strftime function.
