Dates instead of Days to #9

We have requested "Days to" for many of our AGILE Phenotypes. However, some data collectors are still recording dates. This is going to cause issues with the validator. Kirstin has requested we think about automatically converting a date to "days to" with the argument that this would be less error prone then the data collector converting them all.

However, we are concerned because Excel does a lot of auto correcting of dates that is not only hard to predict but can also cause data collection errors. Do we really want to support this?
