Issue/Introduction

Master Project's Finish Date can be shrunk even though Subproject's Finish date is not shrunk

STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 

1. Login To Clarity Classic UI.
2. Navigate to Projects -> Pick a project XYZ. Let's set the project start and finish as "01/01/2023" to "10/31/2024".
3. Navigate to Projects -> Pick a project ABC. Let's set the project start and finish as "01/01/2023" to "12/31/2024".
4. Navigate to Project XYZ -> Properties -> Subprojects and add project ABC.
5. We observe that the finish date has changed to 12/31/2024. We also see that there is a new task added with the task ID as "ABC". This task is read-only and doesn't allow the change of task dates.
6. Take a Project XML as Below and xog it into the system.

<NikuDataBus xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../xsd/nikuxog_project.xsd">
  <Header action="write" externalSource="NIKU" objectType="project" version="16.0.3.1009"/>
  <Projects>
    <Project finish="2023-12-31T00:00:00" name="Master Project" projectID="XYZ">
      <Tasks>
        <Task finish="2023-12-31T00:00:00" name="SubProject" outlineLevel="1" start="2023-10-01T08:00:00" taskID="ABC">
        </Task>
      </Tasks>
      <Allocations/>
      <scenarioDependencies/>
    </Project>
  </Projects>
</NikuDataBus>

 

Expected Results: Xog shouldn't allow for any change of the finish date on master project or the task.
Actual Results: Master Projects finish date is modified even though the subproject's finish date is not changed.
