Insert a future date base don previous form answer

Good afternoon! I'm trying to edit a form so that I can tell team members when they are cleared to return to work after reporting their covid test results.

Ideally, what I'd like to do is add 5 days (per CDC guidelines) to the date picker entry they entered on an earlier page for the date of their covid test. I'd like to show that on the final submission page ~ I was trying to insert it into a long text form element but can't seem to hit the right string?

{formOf88} gets me the test date inserted, but trying other things to add 5 days to it isn't working...? Thank you!

Hi there,

What you need to do is to use a form calculation tool instead of typing the calculation in the paragraph field. That's because the paragraph field doesn't have any calculation capability.

You can use the form calculation tool and use the date string function to calculate the date. Then you can just show the form calculation tool in your paragraph at the bottom. Here's how the formula looks like:

And here's what the form looks like when you implement this:
