What happened?

I was trying to set a item's publish date to a date and the update appeared successful but didn't update the item's date

What did you expect to happen?

I expected the item's date to be set

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Attempt to update an item's publish date without setting the time components in the dialog box
  2. Save
  3. Notice item was not updated

Audiobookshelf version

v2.17.7

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

What OS is your Audiobookshelf server hosted from?

Linux

If the issue is being seen in the UI, what browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Safari

Logs

There is no logged attempt at updating the value, even with debug logs enabled.

Additional Notes

No response

I assume you are talking about the publish date of an individual podcast episode, not full podcasts or book items?

Is the time in the component shown as dashes?

Yes, sorry for the confusion.

In Safari, I see a default time

In firefox, I see dashes

The default time given in Safari confused me when it just didn't do anything after submission, as I saw a complete date time value.
