Add Opportunity Scorecard Last Modified (Days) to the Opportunity Header

Inspired by a Client’s idea

This field shows how many days have passed since a ClosePlan Opportunity Scorecard has been modified.

Adding SC Last Modified (Days) is a simple way to help Users quickly understand the last time they worked on their Scorecard. Knowing this can help Users keep deals on track and keep the Opportunity information ‘fresh’.
