Auto-Set Start/End Dates

N

If enabled, when the end user creates a new record and sets the Forecast Date field, Start Date automatically defaults to the period that the Forecast Date falls in.

If the end user is copying a record, the End Date defaults so that the difference (number of periods) between the source record's Start Date and End Date is maintained.
