# Enhancements

## WBS widget on a Jira work item page

The **Show on Gantt **button in the WBS widget on a Jira work item page is now greyed out when the Gantt module is disabled for the box.

## Predefined end date = start date

When editing a task’s end date, the date picker now opens on the start date if one is provided. This makes it easier to set an end date for future tasks without having to navigate through the calendar again.

If no start date is provided, the date picker opens on today’s date.

## Reminder about the old navigation deprecation

The banner can be closed. If closed, it will appear again two weeks before the deprecation date as a final reminder. To learn more, see the [New navigation](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SPM/pages/2897150073) page.
