End Date Field References Start Date Field By Default

When a requestor fills out my form, they choose the Start date (which defaults to today's date). Then they choose the End date (which also defaults to today's date). Is there a way (maybe in Text Mode?) that we can make the second field (End date) defaulted to select the previously entered Start date value, since the End date should always come after the Start date?

I'm always trying to reduce form clicks for my team. Requestors are noticing the behavior when entering numerous issues with the same form, specifically when using Start and End date fields in tasks and issues (also with default Calendar month at load-in). It takes extra time to select the End date, and is very obvious when flow is repeated numerous times. 

Maybe when a date field is added following after another date field, or, maybe when two date fields are set side-by-side (same line), then the second (End) date would allow the user to reference the first (Start) date. You could use the "Add Logic" menu and UI to reference the first form, with a function drop down with the option/value to "reference start date". That would be very cool. 

Right now, even if you select a Start date of Jan 1, 2035, the End date field will always default back to today's date, causing you to have to click a lot to get back to the year 2035, just to select the next day for the End date, resulting in double the amount of clicks for each issue created. Thanks!
