Make the field statusdate a "timestamp" Today we can put a date both backwards and forwards in time (PR/PO(WO)

It makes no sense to be able to create a WO/PR/PO with a date backwards or forward in time. 

You can also change the date to a future date when changing status. 

The wo/PR/PO dates should show the real time of creation/changing status.  

This dates also shows up in "view history" so you can look at a PR/PO/WO with action dates far ahead in the future, or create a new /PR/PO/WO that has dates years back or in the future that might been created today. 

And we can nowhere see the actual creation date/status date. 

Also IF you create a PR/PO/WO with a future date and change status, you need to keep adding dates in the future or you will get an error. 

This makes all date connected to KPIs wrong, if no dates can be trusted. 

Making these fields a "time stamp" instead will create more accurate data that we can trust
