Cause

This is how it's designed and is an expected behavior by default. Pay date field should not be enabled in UI. If enabled, this  field always defaults the value from the “request date” field.

 

Resolution

It is possible to create a save rule on Non-Recurring payment object to default Issue/Pay date = NonRecurring payment.Advance.Request date

But please note that the advance installments are always created from coming month and not based on the as of date set in the request date and issue dates.

We can preclose and request advance again on current date but not from future date due to above caveat. Hence, its not possible to request advance on future dates after preclosure.
