Edit the Publish Date for Entries
Austin Gregersen
Allow users to easily edit the
publishedAt
field with a simple date picker field in admin. Allow users to edit and update this like any other field. Unless I'm missing something this currently requires customization. There are plugins like https://market.strapi.io/plugins/strapi-plugin-publisher but these are related to scheduling rather than simply managing an existing publish date. I imagine most users expect the simple ability to manage publish date (or would utilize it) as a standard feature.A simple example would be to back date a blog post. Below is a screenshot of this feature in WordPress.

Me too. I'm also migrating for WP and would love the ability to have more control over the blog post ordering (without having to create a custom date entry for order).
If it helps anyone else, I made a work around where I added a "post_date" field to my blogs and then am running a lifecycle hook to manually set this field to the publish date when published (though you can edit this whenever). The goal here is to sort my blogs by this date vs the publishedAt date. Please ping me if you have questions!

This is critical for me too, migrating from WP to Strapi at the moment. I guess I could manually edit database entries, but would like to have this feature from admin backend.

I am currently migrating to Strapi from WP and require this feature, so the migrated posts show up correctly. I find this to be an oversight of the feature planning, as assuming that no one would want to edit the published date isn't correct.
