This is one of the Enhancements from the 2H 2021 release and hence, an expected behavior. A valid End Date is now required in order to be able to Schedule a Purge Request.

A valid End Date needs to be selected for the Purge request scheduling to be accepted. Customers can choose a future year, like 2099, for the End date if they do not want the purge schedule to expire too soon.
