Deployment notes

Creating an index is necessary before merging it into the main branch.

Merging these frontend pull requests simultaneously is crucial for completing this feature:

Dashboard PR : Real-Dev-Squad/website-dashboard#519
Mysite PR : Real-Dev-Squad/website-my#496

Workflow

Previously, the API did not allow the creation of more than one request at a time. To address this limitation, modifications were made under the 'dev' flag. A new function, fetchLatestExtensionRequest, was introduced. When triggered, this function retrieves the latest extension request and checks its status. If the status is either 'Approved' or 'Denied,' it allows users to create another extension request.

Additionally, a new field, requestNumber, was introduced. This field increments each time a user submits a new request. This increment is reflected both on the user's end within my site and on the dashboard site for super users.

Here is the demo video of it:

Here is the workflow of it :

Changes required in backend :
1.Creation of index so as to get the latest extension by descending timestamp when multiple extensions are present for a particular user and task.
2.Addition of requestNumber field and its increment and its handling (since its not present and undefined as per current DB fields).

convert all date into UTC while saving to database

Hi @iamitprakash Thank you for raising this concern. I understand that there's an issue with the storage of dates .If I just convert extension dates to UTC, it might cause problems with the "taskEndsOn" field and discrepancies on other pages.
