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.

We moved from Smartsheet to Workfront and sorely miss this function from Smartsheet, too. Here's their list of shortcuts you can enter in any date field:
