I'm not sure about that plug-in, but it should be trivially easy to write an expression rule that does this, as far as I know. Check out the function userDay() (and maybe also userDayOfYear()).

These look like useful functions, but is there any way to use them to tell if 2 date-times are in the same day in the user's time zone? Or do they use GMT?

You could install and use this plugin: community.appian.com/.../date-and-time-utilities

It has a lot of useful functions to handle different cases when working with dates and times.

Do you mean the year of the date the user entered and today's year? That would be 12*(year(ri!userDate)-year(today())).
