Description

Requirements

I want to enable flags based on the current time in a more human readable format.

"$flagd.timestamp" is a number. A way to do the same using an ISO 8601 string would be more human friendly.

Ideally strings could be supplied with an offset or time zone indicator as well so that I can developers can define times in whatever format works best for them (UTC, US Central Time, etc.).

Research direction

Start by locating the entry point that handles the current numeric $flagd.timestamp value and review how time-based flag conditions are evaluated. Define the supported ISO 8601 forms, including offsets and time-zone indicators, and verify that flags evaluate correctly for each supported form.
