Modifier `:raw`

:raw does different things on different tags and fields:

Raw stored date on {date_created}, {date_updated}, and {payment_date}, under What to show in the picker.
Example: {date_created:raw} gives 2026-01-15 06:00:00.
Unformatted amount on {payment_amount}, under What to show in the picker.
Example: {payment_amount:raw} gives 33.50.
Raw stored date on {now}, {yesterday}, and {tomorrow}, under What to show in the picker.
Example: {now:raw} gives 2026-01-15 09:00:00.
