Default date field calculation

I'd like to take a date field (issue/current date) and automatically add 5
yrs. to it (expired date) and insert it into another place in the document.
Is this possible using date fields?

That is one that you can do fairly simply with a field construction

{ date \@ "MM/dd" }/{ = { date \@ "yyyy" } + 5 }

will give you 11/17/2010

You must use Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of field delimiters { }, Alt+F9 to
toggle off the display of field codes and F9 to update the fields.

Hope this helps.
