## Description

### Steps to reproduce

1.  Activate the resource management module in a project
    
2.  Create or choose a work package with a date and duration of one day, e.g. 07.10.2026
    
3.  In the resource module, allocate a user as a resource and try to select a single day
    
4.  Try to save the allocation.
    

### What is the buggy behavior?

*   The dialogue prevents saving throwing "finish date can't be blank"
    
*   It is not possible to enter 10.07.2026-10.07.2026 instead
    
*   It is not possible to only enter 10.07.2026
    

### What is the expected behavior?

1.  As a user, I want to allocate a resource for only one day (e.g. for an event where a colleague attends).
