Description Gabor Kelemen (allotropia) 2023-12-09 15:57:51 UTC 
This is a followup to bug 158467

The Calc - Calculate - Date setting defines what should be considered the 0 value in date calculations. This setting is stored as a set of 3 keys[1], which is a bit overcomplicated for such a simple 3 state radio button.

It would be a somewhat simpler implementation to replace these 3 keys with a single (for example:) ZeroDate key.
