Technician (RBA) - Difficult to enter future Schedule Dates when creating a new work order - remove the schedule finish it is superfluous.

There is a problem asking for both Schedule Start and Schedule Finish dates when creating a new work order in the Technician application because date fields get defaulted which means that if you change the Schedule Start to a future date/time you immediately run into an error where Schedule Start cannot be later than Schedule Finish. If I demonstrate to a prospective client, I must add a Schedule Finish first and then an earlier Schedule Start and that makes Maximo Mobile look as if it is difficult to use, in the one part of the work order process where it should be super easy.

I do not believe the Schedule Finish is needed, a Schedule Start alone would suffice and that would avoid the problem as there would be no validation between the two fields.
