Body: <p>I have a question regarding membership fees for the following scenario:</p>
  
  <p>Let's say I have a member who joined in January 2018. He payed for 6 months until June 2018. As we are in October now, he is overdue for 4 months. When i try to extend the membership, i click on "renew" button on his overdue membership. I record a new payment and I assumed to extend the membership from the end of the previous membership. Unfortunatly the membership is extended based on "today" and not fromend of June.</p>
  
  <p>Here the screen from the renew form:</p>

  Tamar is correct that you can change the date - but I assume what you're looking for is to change the *default* date that shows up in the "Date Renewal Entered" field.
  
  I wrote an extension, [Custom Renewal Start Date](https://github.com/MegaphoneJon/org.nwu.module.customrenewalstartdate) that does exactly this for a client a long time ago. I haven't shared it before, but I'm posting it because I saw this request!
