Utility Determine Next Occurrence Version 2

This handler uses the IceCube library to configure a schedule and then based on a start date, calculates the next occurrence. This value is returned in string format in the result field 'next_occurrence'.

The bulk of the handler code evaluates and transforms the inputs so the IceCube library can define the schedule and then perform the evaluation.
