View filter dates dynamically - "where start date is < 7 days from now" or "where closed date > 30 days ago" etc.

Right now it appears to be impossible to have a view that says, "show me everything with a start date older than 30 days" because the 30 days gets turned into a fixed date. Or, "Show me tasks starting in the next 7 days."
That means views have to be manually updated every day or week.
Kevin Pearce asked for this here (https://feedback.clickup.com/feature-requests/p/due-date-filter-always-based-upon-todays-date-ie-next-7-days) and the request was closed for no support - but I can't imagine this isn't needed by many people.

Basically all date filter options should have a configurable X:
(before | after) Today ± X (days, weeks, months, quarters, years)
Almost every other fixed filter available is just a specialized instance of this formula. Why not just open it up? A single dialog letting you fill in each of the 3 elements provides a powerful interface for almost any relative date.

I agree. Date filters should allow for:
"up to X days from today" or "is X days after today or later"
This would also reduce ClickUp infrastructure resources usage (costs).
Example:
Tasks with Due date up to 7 days from today.
That would leave out tasks with rather distant due date and make it easier to scroll.
Another example:
Tasks with Start date is 7 days after today or later.

Hello. Just following up on this feature request.
At present filters available that are more close to this are:
- Today & Earlier
- Later than today
- Before date
It shouldn't be that hard to add a filter
- No later than X days from now
What this allows is to have listed:
- Overdue tasks
- Tasks due for today and the near future
And hide out tasks with due dates in a much longer time span from today (several months or even years if you create tasks way ahead of time).
Hope the product team will look into this.
The only way to accomplish this with filters currently available is to use the Before date filter and edit the view changing the date, which is surely time consuming.
So I'm calling ClickUp to help us save time here.
Thanks
