How can I test in an expression if today is after december 4th, 2020? I couldn't find this from googling! sorry! and thank you for looking at my question.

Oh, I'd probably use a translate formula and just turn the date into numbers: translate(today(), "-", "") > 20201204

Ok, and does today() include the Time component? If so, does that mean I should make it translate(today(), "-", "") > 20201205 (since even 12/5/2020 12:01 AM will be greater) and I want it to "pass" the test as soon as it's 12/05 ? This did not work upon Publish time, it then said error

See above screenshot, did not work when Publish it, at that moment it gave error.

The today function just returns the date. You can test these things with calculated values. The syntax will be different for a condition - I didn't know that's what you were doing, and thought you'd be pasting this into the function editor for a rule. For a condition, change the first dropdown to "the expression" and use: translate(xdDate:Today(), "-", "") > 20201205

Ahh, ok thank you !! that worked great!
