 * Hi
   I’m missing the calendar field to edit the download date. Why was it removed?
 * Thanks

 * Hello again,
 * I’ve seen the changelog and found this:
 * > 5.1.16 – 10.06.2026
   > Removed: Manual download count and File Date fields from
   > version editor.
 * How can I recover the date field? I don’t mind writing a script if necessary.
 * We have a template that displays all plugin update versions, and each version
   needs to include a conformity declaration. It’s quite common for a developer 
   to release a new version one day, while the conformity declaration is uploaded
   to Download Monitor several days later.
 * So we need to change the date, which is currently set automatically to the current
   date, to the actual release date.
 * Thanks
