I can't currently verify that this is the way it works, however if it is,
then putting the due date of a subtask after the due date of a parent task
should most definatly extend the due date of the parent task. Is can't be
possible to complete a subtask after completing a parent task as it is
required to complete the subtask to complete the parent task.

Bug description:
Actions to reproduce:

1. Create a task. Set a due date.
2. Create a subtask. Observe the due date is the same as in #1.
3. Set the subtask date to some date *after* the date in #1.
4. Observe the subtask date is *still* the date from #1.

I don't know what the expected behaviour should be, but I was surprised by this, and I had to do some thinking before I realized what was happening.

I think if the user tries to extend the due date of a subtask past the due date of its parent, it is *possible* they also want to extend the parent's due date.

Some fixes would be:
 * Yes/No dialog saying "Would you like to extend the date of the parent task 'Parent Task Name' to YYYY/MM/DD?"
 * Automatically extend the date of the parent task if the subtask is the only subtask.
