Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, Specify does not allow a field to dynamically depend on the value of another field. When a sample or collecting event happened on a single day, the Start Date and End Date are the same. Right now, users have to type that date twice every single time. This is repetitive and leads to typos.

Describe the solution you'd like

Felix and Nate would like to add a way for the End Date field to automatically copy whatever was typed into the Start Date field. The user should still be able to change the End Date manually if needed.

This could look like a checkbox that says something like "Same as Start Date," or it could just fill in automatically.
