Bug Description

With reference to the now implemented Bug #1867979 feature for transfers dialog, can we have a setting that allows for keeping transfer dates in sync.

Given current behaviour now in 5.8, the default in Preferences I would guess would be "off" but if selected then by default the dates would be kept the same.

---
To achieve this within the actual Transfer dialog window -

1. if the reference is ticked (and a "sync me" tickbox within this window has not been unticked) then ..
"To:" date would be auto-populated by the value from the first "Date:" field whenever that value is changed.

2. If the user actively goes into the "To:" date field and changes it, then it *wouldn't* change the "Date:" value (and the tickbox within this window gets unticked).

Others might have a different way on how they might see this function. Happy for a discussion.

I have a number of "transfers" that are scheduled transactions, so when I go in to edit them I need to change both dates in the "one" window if the date has changed.

I agree this is no different to the previous behaviour, but at least I don't need to "go hunt" for the other side of the transaction now.

I was hoping to be able to have a setting that would adjust both automatically if user so chooses even when editing.

I think about a checkbox left to the child date input to enable/disable the field to sync or not

summary: - wish: transfer date option
+ keep sync date when edit a xfer force to enter date twice

But with a "Preferences" option that sets the initial "sync or not" value (default being "off" as I mentioned earlier)??
