Enhance issue due date fields to also accept an offset
0%
Description
Sometimes the exact due date does not matter when defining issues. Rather more important can be that an issue is due xy days/weeks/months after its start.
It would be cool, if the input fields would accept a kind of offset format (probably +xD, +yW, +zM, where D = Days, W = Weeks ...). Or the datepicker could be accompanied by a multiselect+text field: in xy Days/Weeks/Months.

On current source:/trunk (>= r7841), which will evolve into Redmine 1.3.0 first, we have several more available filters for date issue attributes.
Below is a complete list:

Knowing this, I'm curious to know whether or not the currently available filters suffice the request in this issue?

This is cool, but how do I define, that issue #b is due exactly 3 months after its parent #a has started? Or that it is due 4 weeks from when all dependencies have been marked done?
I was looking for a way to define the issue with an offset (and possibly min/max values too - minimal 2 weeks after xyz and maximal of 6 weeks after start), not show issues due in xy days/weeks/months which is what this filtering will do.
Though, this filter will help in reviewing issues and checking for urgencies or delays.

This feature is pretty common to project management software and required in many project-management methodologies.
And the way it should work is following:
When new issue is added, relation field is also given (follows, precedes) next to parent issue field, currently it is available after issue is created.
So, changes:- relation field to be added on new issue screen instead of after issue creation.
- next to delay field, duration field should be given, and it will automatically set due date (delay sets start date, and end date is set by delay + duration).
- once preceeding issue is closed, if it's closed earlier then it's end date, issues which are in following relation should be automatically re-calculated.
