Easier view of "Carry Forward" jobs from the previous Plan

The same underlying date field is exposed under different names in Apptio Targetprocess Request Entity —“Completion Date” in the UI, “Finished” in lists, and “EndDate” in filters—and this inconsistency is by design and not currently configurable.
