When start date is moved after due date, automatically change due date
I have a task with a start date of yesterday and due date of today. If I try to change the start date after the due date, Ultimate To-Do List gives me the unhelpful error "The start date must be before the due date."
First, Toodledo and other Toodledo apps allow start dates to be after due dates, and there's no reason not to here. This makes what should be a quick action to put off a task until tomorrow into an inconvenient chore. It would be far more helpful to automatically change the due date to match than to prevent the change. But even just warning the user that the start date is after the due date, yet still allowing it, would be better.

I agree that the Start Date change should be allowed, perhaps with a warning, but I wouldn't want UTL to automatically change my assigned due date. People use the date fields to suit their own particular system so, while you might want the due date to change too, I might not. Maybe I'd like to know that original due date & the fact that it wasn't started until after it was due...
