Description

When a task exists of multiple child tasks, often you'd want them use the same date/timespan as their parent.

In case the child datetime has to deviate, then the selection of the right datetime is not hindered by it already being populated by the parent.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing how parent and child tasks store and select dates, then identify the task-management entry points involved; done means child tasks use the parent date or timespan by default while an explicitly different child datetime remains selectable.
