Allow the ACF and Metadata controls to compare custom fields to the current date.

What problem does this address?

There have been numerous requests to compare a custom field to the current date. A few examples:

I am wondering if there is a way I can hide a block based on a custom date field? The use case I’m thinking is have a form show on the bottom of all event single posts and that form only shows until the event end time.

I have a ACF field in my (CPT event) page that sets the date the event is expired. If that field is greater then today’s date I want to hide the block. So is it possible to something to compare the field to today’s date?

This is the functionality Im looking for. I tried to compare the date from ACF with today's date, also tested with a shortcode created in functions.php but no issue.
