The dates of the new parent work package (from step 1) are gone.

### **Expected Behavior**

I can keep the dates of the first (parent) work package. Only if the child has dates set, the dates of the parent work package should be overwritten. (That would be consistent to creating a new child (=&gt;parent keeps its dates)).

I know that automatic scheduling mode means that all dates in the hierarchy are set bottom-up. Let&#39;s discuss whether not deleting parent&#39;s dates when the child has none would lead to other inconsistencies (if yes we can reject this bug report).
