POST /cms/records/{database_id}: No record_publish_date request parameter?

[Clover13]

I see a "date" field available, which updates record_saved in the CMS records table.  Is there any way to set the record_publish_date?  It's not a field and I don't see any reference to it in the API request, so I'm assuming there is no way to set this, I'd have to manually run some SQL to do it?
