Imagine that a subclusion'd version of the month and date were in a template in such a way that they automatically time-stamped a DangerReport when a user updated it.

Imagine that a subclusion'd version of the month and date were in a template in such a way that they automatically time-stamped a DangerReport when a user updated it. Comparisons between the 'current' month and date and those so timestamped could be used to automate aging of DangerReports... or at least I think so.
