Allow dynamic relative dates in custom fields (e.g. expiry = today + 180 days)

It would be incredibly useful to have the ability to set a custom date field to "today + X days" using dynamic logic - either with native relative date support in workflows or through recognised tokens like "{{add_days current_date 180}}".
Example use case:
- Automatically setting an expiry date for a discount (180 days from issue)
Right now, we can only enter static or “current” dates, but there’s no way to automatically set a future date offset. This limits automations for reward systems, reminders, and time-based campaigns.

I have a membership and I made a custom field that's a date field for Membership Billing End Date. We have a monthly recurring billing and a yearly recurring billing. Currently for a custom field for dates, there's only Right Now (today) as an option. I am requesting options for both past and future such as 30 days ago, 30 days from now, 60 days ago, 60 days from now, 90 days ago, 90 days from now, and 1 year ago, 1 year from now.

I agree 100% Jed Hatton we provide certificates that should expire every two years from what ever the completion date is but it's impossible to put an expiry date on the certificate because only static date is available. We have to manually update every single certificate issued.
A Custom Value set like the "Right Now" recently released under certificate builder would work. "{{add_days current_date 720}}" in the case of 2 years expiry.
With the new and beautiful certificate interphase, our students get to see the expiry date and it's a negative feedback as the expiration date does not update dynamically.
For example, In the image below, we last set a 2 years expiry date on Dec, 2 2025 and now all certificates will expiry Dec 2, 2027 even if completion date is March 30, 2026.

Ann Likowo Molinge Exactly, I think it’s just you and me that want this feature though. 😭

This is one of the features I current on use the most in plusthis.com my use case is using is for count down timers to count down to a date in x days. This is a very powerful feature being requested. Useful for so many use cases everyone should be voting for this. Note at the same time it’s also worth adding dates in the past too.
