## Description

### Steps to reproduce

  - In the [documentation for the wysiwyg editor](https://www.openproject.org/docs/user-guide/wysiwyg/#available-attributes-for-work-packages), the `workPackageValue` macro lists all the available attributes.

### What is the buggy behavior?

  - The attributes `startDate` and `dueDate` do not work for a work package of type milestone. One must use `date`, but it's not documented
  - Example with milestone work package \#\#53565:
      - `workPackageValue:53565:startDate` => 04/10/2024
      - `workPackageValue:53565:dueDate` => 04/10/2024
      - `workPackageValue:53565:date` =>  
  - Example with bug work package \#\#53814:
      - `workPackageValue:53814:startDate` =>  
      - `workPackageValue:53814:dueDate` =>  
      - `workPackageValue:53814:date` =>  

### What is the expected behavior?

  - For milestones
      - startDate, dueDate and date result in the same value (the one date value)
  - For non-milestones
      - startDate and dueDate show that singular date value
      - date shows the date range YYYY-MM-DD - YYYY-MM-DD
