Automatically populate end dates captured in a timestamp attribute in EWM schedule

Currently when the schedule is built with start date, duration and relationships like predecessor, the Gantt chart is generated for the schedule tasks. When an update is done to the start date or duration, the chain automatically updates the Gantt chart accordingly. However, there is no access to take this end date and capture it in an attribute, so that the end date hidden in the Gantt is automatically updated on a end date column. In absence of this feature user has to hover over the Gantt for each line of the schedule to find out the end date. End date is also required as an attribute to be able to analyze the schedule for tasks by creating queries with the end date. Currently, updating the tasks manually for end date will result in date column going out-of-sync with the Gantt chart resulting in erroneous results.
