Relative Workflow Timelines Possible?

I’m setting up workflows that build standard deliverables.

A simple proofing task might have the following steps:
Proofing Group

  • Proofing Item
    • Receive content (7 days)
    • Estimate delivery (1 day)
    • Proof and deliver (3 days)
    • Requested Delivery Date (n/a)

I can set up a workflow that has sub-item timelines with a specific date or using the “Today” value.

Is there a way to set up relative timelines within the workflow block settings? (“Today”+x days)

I think I can create formula columns that would allow for it:
Date Item Created || Date plus 7 days || Date plus 8 days || Date plus 11 days

But I’d like to avoid adding that many columns for a one-time setup.
