Rules Engine: ability to convert date to date-time field

@caitlin_ankney and Jen P. have figured out a way to do this so all of the credit goes to them, not me!

Directly from Jen herself in the GGA slack group:

Step 1: Use a transform & formula field to convert Date field to String field
Step 2: Use a second transform & formula field to convert the new String field to a second new String field using Concat & add a space + your default time in the format you want to use in your datetime field (I did HH:mm:ss)
Step 3: Use a third transform & formula field to convert the second new String field using a To DateTime formula.

Despite this wonderful workaround, it would be nice to have a cleaner and easier way of converting a date field to a date-time field.

While the workaround is easy enough, it’s silly to have to go through this kind of brittle transformation to achieve this. We can do the reverse scenario, so let’s make that one happen.
