Exactly, i too would have suggested to use relative dates! They are really mighty and also work for due-date fields, which enables you to use them as triggers for the automation (note that the autofill only works in combination with datetime fields, e.g. if you want to have them auto-filled 3 days before the user-inputed date, the latter would have to be a datetime field)

@aryanda, unfortunately Pipefy does have this limitation. When I need some automation like this, I use a third-party integrator. I recommend that you take a look at Integromat/Make, but be sure to file an improvement request for Pipefy.
