Issue/Introduction

Summary: When using the Staffing Scenarios, the user is having an issue clearing out the allocation date so that it will use the Investment date. The current plan of record (POR) Allocation record has a date set for the Allocation Start date. The user wants to clear this out in the scenario so that there is a change to view the impact of using the Investment date instead of the current date entered into the Allocation record. 

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a Project with Staff members 
2. Edit the Allocation Start date 
3. Go to Staffing workspace: 'Allocations by Investment' module 
4. Create a new Scenario
5. Delete the Allocation Start date value (the intention is to blank out the field so the allocation can use the Investment Start date)

Expected Results: Updating the Allocation Start and/or Finish date to use a blank value should be handled as a change to indicate the allocation should use the Investment date in the scenario and not the date currently set on the POR Allocation record. 

Actual Results: After clearing out the Allocation Start and/or Finish date, the Scenario still displays the same date value that is set on the current POR Allocation record. 

Workaround: None.
