Leave of absence module problem

[Ashj24uk]

Hi guy I have recently added the Leave of absence module now in this module in the pilot center it wont let you enter a start date so after a bit of tinkering i manged to

get it to let me choose a start date for my leave of absence as a drop down box now the thing is in the admin center it still shows today date as the start of my leave of absence

even tho in the pilot center i choose a different date now how do i get it to display the start date correctly in the admin center il post some screen shots too
