Retroactively assign dates to blogs

[Danny Cardoza]

I'm migrating a bunch of pages and blog posts to a new Confluence space. All these will be housed as blog posts in the new space. One of the reasons we want to do this is to utilize how blogs automatically sorts posts by date.

When I move previous blog posts to the new space, they retain the original publication date -- or last updated date -- whereas, converting a page into a blog changes the post to today's date. This means I have things from 2023 and 2022 under 2024.

Is there a way to retroactively change this? Or am I just hosed...

Hi @Danny Cardoza ,

This is not possible at present. There's a long-standing ticket to allow changing the date of a blog post, but it's not been fixed yet.

Thanks,
