Can a date field in IFS Cloud accept relative date-arithmetic input directly, like 'TODAY + 1 month' or 'TODAY + 20 days', the way some other systems support typing an expression into a date field?

Answer

No — the standard date/time input control in IFS Cloud doesn't support entering a calculation or offset expression directly into a date field; it expects an actual date value. If you need dates calculated relative to today (like a delivery date a month out), that has to be computed elsewhere — in a default value, a workflow, or client-side logic — and the resulting concrete date then set on the field, rather than the field itself evaluating a typed expression.
