3663346 - Custom MDF Error - The new start date cannot be greater than the end date

When trying to add the final approval to a workflow, getting an error - the new start date cannot be greater than the end date

SAP SuccessFactors HCM suite

1. Using a custom MDF object which already has existing user records with effective start dates which triggers a Workflow for approval
2. Using the Edit Icon > then create an new record
3. Set the effective start date for the new record to be earlier/before the existing time slices (so if an existing record has a start date of 01/01/2025 and the new record you are trying to create has a an effective start date of 01/01/2024
4. Save the record to trigger the workflow
5. When approving the Workflow (or if there are multiple levels of approval, on the final approval) - error received "the new start date cannot be greater than the end date"

Expected behaviour, you cannot create a new record with an effective start date earlier than already existing records

Ensure the effective start date is after any existing records
