Setting specific dates in Pages records no longer possible

[Editorn]

Hi,

When we create a new record in a Pages database, we are no longer able to set a past date or time. And when the article is saved, we are not able to amend the date at all. Is this expected behaviour? From what we see, this change was made in the 4.7.7 update.

We are primarily using the Pages app from the admin side.

It has been restored for 4.7.8 in Pages (March release). 🎉

Hi Matt, thank you. Good to know this (frequently used) feature is coming back 👍

Hoooooold on @Matt

I was told that setting past dates on Pages wasn't happening anymore after my own bug report here. I just bought a plugin to sort the issue out for me 😅

Am I right in assuming that with the March update, we can set past dates on already-published records as well as set past dates on new records being created? I just want to make triple-sure so I know, because I've been so confused these past couple weeks! 😄
