Please remove default date in Member Focus list

This is a request to please remove the default Last Appointment date when entering a new person in the Member Focus list for leaders. I often add people I want to focus on and start interviewing but haven't as yet started this process. But the current date is entered as Last Appointment date when simply adding a new name and the date cannot be blanked out. This is confusing as I later get confused on whether or not I've interviewed them.

Thank you!
