Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported empty result for {{local_dt}} and compare its evaluation with {{today()}} and {{local_dt|unixtimestamp}} in the template engine. Trace the implementation and existing tests for these expressions; done means the regression is fixed with coverage, or the backward-compatibility behavior is explicitly documented.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Previous releases the concept of {{local_dt}} would be enough to provide the local date.

This returns empty now.

Now, one must use {{today()}} or use a combination of {{local_dt|unixtimestamp}}

Is this a known issue? Not backwards compatible? Or, are we missing something?
