To prevent different dates being entered on Nominal Payments/Receipts

Part of the functionality of entering Nominal Payments and receipts involves the ability to change the header date and the split date. Functionality came in on 2015 to prevent the dates being spread over different periods (meaning both periods involved would be imbalanced on management reports but balancing overall.) Can the functionality be added to the settings area to prevent any deviation from the header date on the split please?
