Hi,

I’m not sure if there is a better way to handle this but I would personally suggest to create a function fired on save post, and if the “end date” is empty, you can set the default date (5 days after the start date):

function custom_execute_save_post_actions($post_id, $post, $update){

    // Stop WP from clearing custom fields on autosave
    if (defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE)
        return;
	
    if ( 'trash' != $post_status ) {
	// check if your custom field is empty and set the default value here
    }

}
add_action( 'save_post', 'custom_execute_save_post_actions', 10, 3);
