Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

It would be great if the templates in the documentation for setting up multi-currency could lean on an API with up-to-date information on exchange rates. So instead of

{{ fixed (div amount 100) 2 }} SOL (FX rate: 0.27) hard-coded 0.27

it would be something like
{{ fixed (div amount 100) 2 }} SOL (FX rate: fx_rate(SOL, USD))

Likely for any conversion rate rules in the system, it could hit once per day and cache the value until the next day.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem
