Hi.
I know two ways to implement the feature through Innovator.
1. Classification functionality. You should login as admin, go to Administration/ItemTypes and create a new instances (name=MilestoneAndActivity for example). New window is opened for the instance. Click Class Structure button in the window and add two subclasses (Milestone, Activity). Then you can use date_prop as a common property. Also, you can add class specific properties for the item type (for example, date_milestone for Milestone class), class specific forms, etc.
2. Poly Item implementation type. You should login as admin, go to Administration/ItemTypes and create a new instances (name=MilestoneAndActivity for example). New window is opened for the instance. Click Poly Item in Implementation Type group. Poly Sources tab is activated. Pick Milestone, Activity item types (they should be created before the steps). Save. Go to Properties tab and add date_prop (note: the property with the same name should exist both on Milestone and Activity item types). So, physically you will have two db tables (Milestone, Activity) and one db view (MilestoneAndActivity) gathering common properties from Milestone and Activity tables.
Hope it helps.
