Summary	0007634: Support relative default for Date Custom Fields (e.g. {tomorrow}, {+2 days}, {next week})
Description	When applying filters to or defining defaults for fields of type "Date", relative dates should be allowed. For example: [Today] n (days\|weeks) from [Today] n (days\|weeks) before [Today] Let's say one added a "Due" custom field. One could create a filter that showed all issues that needed to be resolved in the next two weeks with the following constraint: "Due" on or before 2 weeks from [Today] One could set the default value of "Due" to be: 5 days from [Today] So that whenever a new issue was filed, that field for that bug would populated with today's date plus 5 days (at the time of its creation). I think this adds much-needed flexibility to the "Date" type field.
