Use start and due date attributes when listing iterations

euko requested to merge 343523-use-date-attributes-when-listing-iterations into master

What does this MR do and why?

Background

The changes in this MR are behind a feature flag (iteration_cadences).

Iterations can be generated automatically for an iteration cadence. When iterations are created, their titles have hardcoded start and due dates e.g., Iteration 1: Oct 1, 2021 - Oct 3, 2021.

We won't be hardcoding the dates in the backend and we are updating the frontend components to use the date attributes for display.

The backend portion will merge after this MR. This MR completes the frontend tasks laid out in #343523 (closed).

Changes introduced in this MR

Use iteration start/due dates attributes to display them in

  • the iteration cadence list
  • iteration select dropdown
    • in the issue sidebar
    • in the board issue sidebar
    • in the issue list bulk edit sidebar
    • in the board list create form
    • in the iteration board list header

Screenshots (before/after)

Iteration cadences list

⚠ some iterations already got created with dates in their titles so dates would be displayed twice for them. (we're assuming this isn't a big problem as the feature is not marked as ready for production)

Before After
cadence_list_before cadence_list_after

Issue sidebar / Board issue sidebar / Issues list bulk edit / Board list create form

❗ The same styling is applied to all.
