"Smart" Estimated Finish Date Calendar

This would benefit any user that is entering start/finish dates in any section of Sage that utilizes the calendars, and would improve user efficiency.

When an Est. Start Date is selected several months in the future, the calendar for the Est. Finish Date does not automatically default to the future month, but stays set at the current month. This means that users then need to arrow ahead multiple times just to get to the month of the start date that had already been set.

For example, an estimated start date of 6/3/24 is selected, which means the soonest the finish date could be would also be in June. However, Sage brings up the calendar for the current month for the Est. Finish Date when this is not a viable option (a project cannot finish before it starts).

Our team knows from using other programs, that it should be possible to program a rule that says “If start date = 6/3/24, end date must be equal to/greater than 6/3/24” which would allow the June calendar to display, rather than the February calendar.
