Missing feature in Cognos Analytics Report that was present in the Legacy Query Studio

As our organization looks to transition out of Query Studio (QS), one of our users pointed out a missing feature in the new Report Interface. 

When filtering on dates in QS, they have been using a nifty feature called ‘Last Number of Days’ filter where they could specify a number of days before and the report would build a ‘smart’ filter for them on the fly. They have built reports using this and very often schedule out the output.

Our Organization is on Cognos Analytics 11.2.4 and when I looked for a similar feature, I could not find one in Reports. We would like to request that this key feature to be brought into Cognos Analytics Report especially if you want organizations such as our who have thousands of QS users who would need to transition to the new Reprot tool when we upgrade to the next v12 LTS version

I have attached a screenshot.
