Systemvariables year, decade and century?

0

Is there a way to retrieve the beginning and end of the year, decade and century from a date? Something like: [%BeginOfCurrentYear%] [%EndOfCurrentYear%] [%BeginOfCurrentDecade%] [%EndOfCurrentDecade%] [%BeginOfCurrentCentury%] [%EndOfCurrentCentury%] This would really complete the time-related system variables form https://world.mendix.com/display/refguide3/XPath+Keywords+and+System+Variables

I'd say try something along the lines of this:

[%EndOfCurrentYear% + 10 * %YearLength%]

There are no functions like these currently, if you need them for a specific purpose I suggest filing a feature request.
