Describe the feature/enhancement

I'm adding my Audible library to ABS and I'm marking the books I've read as finished as I add them. I know all of the start/finished dates for all of these books. Can we please have the option to edit these dates? Thanks!

This is already possible by editing the database file, but presumably you would like to be able to do in the ABS UI. Just noting this for anyone willing to edit DB files!

This is true. However, that's not good enough. Users don't have access to the DB.

Glad that I searched before adding a feature request. I'm also looking to do this so that it doesn't affect my Year in Review.

I also support this, since while you can edit the database, the section of the database that appears to hold the date finished doesn't have the title of the book, just an ID, which makes modifying it a tedious act of looking up IDs and matching.

Fyi, I made a tool upon request a while back to update the finished date:
https://abstoolbox.vito0912.de/tool/listen-date-updater

Sadly, ABS does not support changing the start date once it has been set, so this is not an option.

i also noted, that using Api
PATCH /api/me/progress/
does not work, startedAt is ignored, i deleted the progress item, and tried, will multiple combinations, at least expecting that the start time, could match the end date, but no luck
so now, i have a bunch of books, that i started after i read them,

You cannot change a started at after progress was created. You can freely while creating.
Imho it makes sense, but you can easily circumvent that by deleting the progress before. That's also how I do it with the toolbox linked above.
