      If issue B is blocked by issue A but issue A has no estimate but does have a target end date then the scheduled start date for issue B should not be before that target end date. Although this is working as intended it is potentially confusing (unestimated issues are not considered when scheduling) there are improvements that we could potentially make.

      Environment

      (Optional - If Applicable)

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a project with issues A and B
      2. Make issue B blocked by issue A
      3. Create a plan for that project
      4. Give an estimate to issue B
      5. Give target start and end dates to issue A
      6. Click "calculate" to schedule the issues

      Expected Results

      It could reasonably be expected that issue B will not have a calculated start date that is before the target end date of A (because it is a known date).

      Actual Results

      B will start as the same time as A (because A is not considered in scheduling because it has no estimate).

      Workaround

      Give an estimate to issue A.
