Description

A common usecase is offsetting a variable and multiplying it. (see imd.json HV system) This cannot be done right now as offset and multiply are mutually exclusive and we cannot make an "offset_and_multiply" because we would need to pass two arguments.

Therefore two possible solutions:

  • Allow for multiple formatters, be aware of pemdas! Then you can add an offset and a multiply
  • Allow for the formatter to take in multiple arguments.

Research direction

Start by locating the formatter handling and reviewing the imd.json HV system use case described in the issue. Compare support for cascaded formatters with support for formatters taking multiple arguments, including PEMDAS ordering. Done means the chosen approach supports offsetting and multiplying the variable and has clear behavior for formatter arguments.
