Description
Feature request
Add a convenience action in the parameter editor to "index to inflation" — i.e., automatically generate a multi-year schedule of values for a parameter that grows with an inflation index, rather than requiring the user to manually compute and enter each year's value.
Motivation
This is a common policy-design pattern (e.g., modeling a bracket or credit amount that's indexed to CPI going forward) and today requires manual arithmetic for every future year in the parameter editor.
Migrated from policyengine-app#2069.

Research direction
Start by locating the parameter editor in this repository and review how parameter values and multi-year schedules are represented. Use the migrated request as context for the intended “index to inflation” action; done means users can generate inflation-adjusted future values instead of entering each year's value manually.
