# Posts screen Quick Edit cannot change date

 * I frequently use Quick Edit on the Posts page to change date/time on drafts to
   move them into the future. Since WP6.3 upgrade (and a lot of plugin updates after
   Aug 9) Quick Edit simply won’t change date/time though it allows me to try. I
   must edit each draft individually to change the date. All other fields can be
   changed in Quick Edit just not date/time. NOTE: I have deactivated plugins & 
   deleted cache. Doesn’t fix it.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fposts-screen-quick-edit-cannot-change-date%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@kperegrine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kperegrine/),
 * I can reproduce this issue.
 * Searching in the bug repository of the project I found that it has been already
   reported [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/59125](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/59125)
   and the cause identified.
 * It’s listed to look at for WordPress 6.3.1. If you are interested in following
   the progress, you can subscribe to the above trac ticket.
 * Best,
    André

 * Commenting for awareness – this is still an issue.
 * 6.3.2 did not fix.

 * This is definitely still an issue and I’m very disappointed that 6.3.2 did not
   fix it. I blog ahead so I presently have 23 drafts, and am about to create 15
   more. I use the date-change field to reshuffle future articles. It’s terribly
   time consuming to edit each one individually just to change the date.
