Set/Change post date?

Hi everyone,

I'm migrating an existing community from Circle to Fluent Community using the REST API. My goal is to preserve all existing posts and their original creation dates.

I've noticed that the API seems to ignore all my attempts to set or update the created_at date when creating/updating posts. Posts are always created with the current timestamp.

Has anyone else run into this problem, and if so, did you find a solution or workaround?

Thanks!

The REST API always take created_at as the current timestamp, which is ideal behavior otherwise, an auth user can post in the past date. Probable workaround can be using custom PHP code to update the created at date after migration completes.
