I have a query that checks to see if a date is more than a year old with something like:

```auto
"range": {
  "some_date": {
    "gt": "now-1y"
  }
}

```

But I need to also figure out if that document WILL BE more than a year old on some other date.

Is it possible to dynamically change the `now` value or something similar? Or do I need to replace `now` with something like `doc['passed_in_date']-1y`?

Every attempt I've tried has yielded something like `failed to parse date field [doc['passed_in_date']]`

I'm very new to Elasticsearch. Thanks for your help.
