a!localVariables(
  local!startDate: today(),
  local!endDateEdited: false,
  local!endDate: a!refreshVariable(
    value: local!startDate + 7,
    refreshOnReferencedVarChange: not(local!endDateEdited)
  ),
  {
    a!dateField(
      label: "Start Date",
      value: local!startDate,
      saveInto: local!startDate
    ),
    a!dateField(
      label: "End Date",
      value: local!endDate,
      saveInto: {
        local!endDate,
        a!save(local!endDateEdited, true)
      }
    )
  }
)

Test it out

  1. Select a new value for Start Date. Notice that local!endDate is updated based on the new value for local!startDate.
  2. Select a value for End Date
  3. Select a new value for Start Date. Notice that local!endDate retains the user's input and does not automatically update.
