Microsoft Planner: Start date and due date are no longer constrained

🚨 The Signal: Microsoft Planner no longer enforces start dates to precede due dates. This removes a constraint, allowing users to set illogical task date ranges, potentially impacting project tracking and reporting accuracy.

The Impact

All Planner users are affected by this change, which introduces a minor risk of misinterpreting task timelines due to inconsistent date ordering.

• End Users: May create tasks with illogical date ranges, leading to confusion.
• Project Managers: Risk of inaccurate project status reporting due to flexible date constraints.
• Compliance Teams: Potential for misrepresentation of project progress if relying on Planner dates.
