Description
Expected behavior
- I make a new post with a title
- I tap into the post settings and set the date I'd like to post to be published for. This is a past time, maybe a few days ago
- I add my content to the post
- When I go to tap publish the time/date for the post reflects the settings I add in step 2
Actual behavior
- I make a new post with a title
- I tap into the post settings and set the date I'd like to post to be scheduled for. This is a past time, maybe a few days ago
- I add my content to the post
- When I go to tap publish the time/date for the post has been updated to immediately, removing the settings I add in step
