1. Navigate to Admin Center;
2. Performance Management >> Form Template Settings;
3. Choose an affected Performance Form Template;
4. Change any option and attempt to Update Form Template, see the following error message.

This error is caused by your template configurations failing the date configuration validations. The Start date of your form must always be before the End and Due date configuration. (Both Default Dates and Feedback Date Ranges)

The Default Start Date validates against the following fields:

• Default End Date
• Default Due Date
• Ask for Feedback Date Range (Even if Ask for Feedback is disabled, the dates must be configured after the Default Start Date)

The following Screenshot shows the dates that must be configured after the Default Start Date:

Please also notice warning message: "Warning - Mixing fixed and Relative to Form Creation can result in invalid dates set."

It means that if you mix between "fixed and relative", the form template won't be saved. You may choose between 'fixed' or 'relative'.
