En cuanto a la forma verbal empleada, quizás "lo ha sido" podría valer.

Explanation:
Yo lo redactaría de otra manera:
Si se define la fecha de inicio, se deberá definir también la fecha de finalización y viceversa.

(Para evitar "y si se define la fecha de finalización, también deberá definirse la de inicio".)
