Shortcut for dates in Workfront

Description - I used to work for a software company who implemented a COTS solution with government agencies, and their software had date shortcuts. A user could enter '0' and the field would populate with today's date. Enter a '1' and it would populate tomorrows date. Enter a '-1' and it would populate yesterday's date. The field also accept '2w' (two weeks from now), '2m' (two months from now) and '2y' (two years from now) - these are just examples. A user could enter any number and any qualifier and it would populate correctly

Why is this feature important to you - Equals less manual date entering. Less clicks = more productivity

How would you like the feature to work - Please see the description field above.

Current Behaviour - A user has to enter at least a month and day, the system will populate the current year at least.
