Description
Hi,
In Robot currently, we don't have the option to add months to the current data in the DateTime library.
We can now add Hours, Days, and, Years using Add Time to data.
${one_month_later} Add Time To Date ${current_date} 1 months
it we try to add the above it will not recognize as a keyword.

Research direction
Start by locating the DateTime library implementation and tests for the Add Time To Date keyword. Check how the existing hours, days, and years units are handled, then verify the requested month example and related date behavior with tests. Done means month addition is recognized as a supported unit without regressing the existing units.
