Gives "Publication date 2026-02-09" which is perfect.
Great thanks - please close the ticket.

I see now that I can change "date: " in the editor https://archive.org/editxml/hpr4551 and it renders as "Publication date" in the future 2026-01-12 

I'll double check if I can add it using the ia tool.

Ken, can you give me the identifier of the show that you are testing this on? I can then take it and see what I can do.

Well I set the "publishing dates" to todays date and that allowed me to upload.
Now if I set the publishing date to the future, then it get's set to todays date anyway.
So no it's not fixed. In my view is that this is incorrect as upload date and publishing date are not the same.

Thanks Jason and Team,

More than happy to work with you on solutions.

FYI I have tried to update one of the shows and I'm getting this error from the cli ia app and also uploading via the web page.

The files are in fact uploaded and the error only appears after the transfer.

Hi Internet Archive Team,
I believe that this is a recent policy change, as the system has been allowing the upload of future publishing dates for years.
To give an example of https://archive.org/details/hpr4532 which has a "Addeddate: of 2025-09-13 10:17:29", but is not scheduled to be published until Publication date: 2025-12-16. 
We post the media for shows to the IA prior to them going into our RSS feed where they will be considered "published". This is in line with the documentation of https://archive.org/developers/metadata-schema/index.html#date. "Use the most specific verifiable date you have access to", which is the date that it will be published. 
This change requires us to use "Addeddate" as the "Publication date" which will put all our works out of order as many are scheduled for publishing a year in advance.
I understand that people may be abusing Published Date, but from the IA point of view I would ask to not limit the publishing date to a future, as there are many use cases where you should get a copy of the work prior to the official publication date.
Regards,
Ken Fallon
