## Description

### Steps to reproduce

1.  Create 2 work packages, parent and child
    
    1.  child has both dates set
        
    2.  this means parent is in automatic mode and inherits its dates from its child
        
2.  On the parent, open the date picker
    
3.  Switch to manual mode
    
4.  Clear both dates
    
5.  Switch back to automatic mode
    

### What is the buggy behavior?

*   The finish date remains empty
    
*   The duration is not set
    

### What is the expected behavior?

1.  The finish date should be the one set by the child, same for duration.
    

Note that upon saving, the values are correctly set.
