ACTUAL BEHAVIOR
---------------
SI Next Execution Date repopulated with Start Date even if user does not amend Start Date in PMDSIMNT

Earlier fix was given to repopulate SI Next Execution Date with the Start Date since users need to be able to amend SI Next Execution Date in some cases.

But now even if user does not amend Start Date system is repopulating Next Execution Date which means any amendment in PMDSIMNT screen will recalculate Next Execution Date. This is causing issues as original Start Dates in the past (sometimes 5 years old) are being populated as Next Execution Dates, SI job is then picking up these records and executing again 5 years.

Please provide a fix so that Next Execution Date is only recalculated if Start Date is being changed.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
-----------------------
Next execution date should be populated only when it is modified or start date is modified

STEPS
-----------------------
The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:
1. Do any amendment from PMDSIMNT screen.
2. Verify if start date and next execution date are amended.

BUSINESS IMPACT
-----------------------
The issue has the following business impact:
Due to this issue, execution dates are recomputed even if it is not amended.
