…ithdrawal date (#14135) Resolves #14077 ### Description Changed the logic for calculating when an EvidencesSubmissionWindow task expires. - Previously the expiration was based on receipt date so long as there was not an associated hearing. - Now the task expires based on the receipt date only if in the evidence submission docket and it expires based on the hearing withdrawal date for all others ### Acceptance Criteria - [ ] Code compiles correctly - [ ] EvidenceSubmissionWindow task is closed at the correct time based on the docket and whether it has an associated hearing

Description
When a
ScheduleHearingTaskis cancelled (when the hearing is withdrawn), we automatically create anEvidenceSubmissionWindowTask.Current behavior
If there’s a hearing associated with the appeal, the
EvidenceSubmissionWindowTaskwill expire 90 days after the day the hearing was scheduled. If there’s no hearing, it will expire 90 days after the appeal’s receipt date. In a case where a hearing was never scheduled, this can cause theEvidenceSubmissionWindowTaskto expire the same day it was created, because its appeal's receipt date is more than 90 days in the past.Desired behavior
The
EvidenceSubmissionWindowTaskshould expire 90 days after the hearing was withdrawn (when theScheduleHearingTaskwas cancelled) on an appeal in the Hearing docket. AnEvidenceSubmissionWindowTaskon an appeal in the Hearing docket should never use the appeal's receipt date to calculate its expiration.An
EvidenceSubmissionWindowTaskon an appeal in the Evidence Submission docket should continue to use the appeal's receipt date to calculate its expiration.Acceptance criteria
