I can’t find anything that really answers this issue. I am trying to, with a button, increment a date filed by one or more months, or even years. Days and Weeks are easy. I could go the route of adding 30 days for a month, but this quickly gets inaccurate due to months having variable numbers of days. It seems like such a simple thing for the software to do, but I can’t find a way to do it.

Though I am trying to avoid any code as I am not well versed in coding, I am open to some javascript. I have also considered extracting the Month, Day, and Year as separate fields, but am also not sure how I would do that. Would make the math easier if it worked.
