Description

Summary:
All of the worklists display relative dates with the english #d/h (ago), but this formatting is not a valid input when entering dates yourself. With the new emphasis on lots of custom fields everywhere, it would definitely be handy if you could easily copy and paste those values into peek or bulk update dialogs.

The possible english formats I see are:

#h
#h ago
#d
#d ago

Additional suggestions for better relative input options, specifically in regards to the "Allow anybody to handle the next reply after".

+#hrs

I think this at least registers in some places like 'due' in tasks but does not fire for the case mentioned here. I'll look more into this soon.

I agree with changing the formats to:

+5h
-2h

And dropping 'ago'. It would be more clear in both cases, and could be copied directly into the relative date input boxes.
