Should we add an editable post date as a core fields on the post table?

[rjmackay]

Posts currently have post created and updated dates.. but these are not editable.
V2 posts always had an editable post date.. should we add this to 3.x? thoughts?

ping @kamaulynder @dkobia @middle8media @Jepchumba ..

I would say yes

Yes, making the dates editable is a huge plus as events are not always in
real time (deployments vary), the admins might want to adjust dates.

Cool. Thought as much..
@kamaulynder to clarify, we're not making the created/updated dates editable.. they're important for audit purposes. But adding an additional post date/time field.

Also, users could add this now by adding a custom date/time field.. the main difference adding this to the posts table is it would always be there, and it's easier to sort by..

The only problem I can foresee is users using super simple posts, or non-time sensitive posts, will always have this field and can't change it.

Mmh.... You have a point there
