Hide start date and end date when creating a (new) section
In the June 2024 release, we were given the possibility to hide the due date from the quick edit view of a citation. For the same reason, we need to hide the “start date” and “end date” fields when creating a (new) section.
Once published, our citations must always be visible to all students. At our institution, Leganto Lists are mandatory for all our instructors because students should always have access to the lists, also to the ones that refer to previous academic years. If an instructor fills in the “start date” and “end date” fields, citations will no longer be available after the end date (or before the start date).
As a workaround, we changed the labels with a warning in order to discourage instructors from filling these fields, but it was not as effective as we needed.

We'd like the option to have a start date but hide the end date.
Use case: Often lecturers will still be working on resources for their Week 5 section at the start of semester. Some would like to hide the section while they work on it - setting a start date ensures that it does get made available by the time week 5 comes around.
On the other hand once resources are shown to students we don't want them to be hidden as they'll be needed for revision and to have them suddenly disappear would be confusing.

I support the idea, it can be useful for our institution too
