When creating Releases and linking them to Initiatives, it is easy to forget the date ranges you set for the Initiatives. It would make sense for a Release's dates to be constrained to the Initiative's dates, or at least a warning that a release's date is outside of the planned dates for the Initiatives. Currently, the release default dates are semi-arbitrary and get out of sync with their Initiatives too easily. Then you have to go in and re-set everything.
Thank you for the idea. Given the low volume of support for this idea, we do not have plans to make updates in this area at this time.
