SetMilestonesFromDateFromTaskDescription

Description

The handler must be set to the first activity with event type Node-Enter.
Two parameters are given to the handler: the searchPattern and the datePattern.
Upon execution, all of the task descriptions on the searchPattern will be assessed, and if something is found, the datePattern will be employed to generate a date from the found material.
The generated date is added to the superordinate activity as a milestone.
If an activity has multiple tasks, the first date found will be used. Therefore, each task description in an activity should have the same date.
The date found in the task description must be surrounded by square brackets!
