Description paxed 2018-11-27 10:04:50 UTC
When adding new holidays to the calendar, you pick the start date,
and then the end date, but the end date calendar will start from
current date, not from the picked start date. Sometimes this means
many extra clicks to pick an end date.
    
Make the end date calendar start from the beginning date by default.

At step 4, the field "To date:" is not filled with the start date, I don't know if it's intended.

Bug 21885: Calendar to-date starts before end-date

When adding new holidays to the calendar, you pick the start date,
and then the end date, but the end date calendar will start from
current date, not from the picked start date. Sometimes this means
many extra clicks to pick an end date.

Make the end date calendar start from the beginning date by default.

Test plan:

1) Go to the tools -> calendar
2) Pick a start date somewhere in the future, and then open the
   end date calendar. Notice how it starts before the start date
   of the date range.
3) Apply patch.
4) Pick a start date in the future. The end date calendar should
   automatically default to the same date.
5) Change the start date a day backwards, note how the end date
   does not change.
6) Change the start date after the end date, note how the end date
   adjusts, so it is not in the past.

A nice follow-up to this would be to disable dates before the chosen start date.

Comment 6 Katrin Fischer 2019-02-04 22:06:59 UTC
This is certainly a nice little improvement. I agree with Owen that greying out dates would be another nice addition, but I think we can handle that on a separate bug report:

Bug 22272 - Calendar: When entering date ranges grey out dates in the past from the start date

I've rephrased the title a bit as this does a bit more than prevent to before start... but maybe it can still be improved.
