Automatically roll/amend period dates for future financial years when shortening or lengthening the year end

This will save considerable time for customers when needing to shorten or lengthen their year end by creating a button/script to automatically change/roll-out future periods based upon the final month/period/year date of 'This Financial Year' into the future financial periods for the next 5 years (Current Year +1, +2, +3, +4, +5).

    This has been a pain for years and is very 'clunky' which is not a good look.
