Date Custom fields and Feature Start on and Due on fields allow you to delete a date by hovering over the field and clicking on the X that appears. However, the Releases "Development started on" field does not allow for you to remove the date once a date has been added. You can only modify the date. For consistency and flexibility purposes, it would be nice if this date field could also be cleared out.
Thank you for this idea, the functionality for all our date fields has been updated so that they work in the same manner, by clicking into the field.
