## Result

* Contracts with the state set to Draft and a start date set in the future are kept in the Draft state until the start date is reached.
* If the contract has a substate of Approved, the system changes the state to Active and removes the Substate value.
* When a contract with a state of Draft and a start date set to a date in the past is approved, the State value is automatically set to Active and the Substate value is left empty.
