Thank you for pointing that out. I see that when I toggle the “Display Last Modified Date” option off, the “Change Date” edit icon does appear. However, by turning the switch off, the “Modified Date” block converts to a “Date” block, and while it then allows me to change the date, it actually is changing the original publish date of the post, which I don’t want to do. I want to change the date to when the content was actually modified. Therefore, I don’t think this block helps me as it either shows nothing or the current date.
Basically, I have many posts published prior to 2019, and while some have been updated in the past few years, none have been recently. I’m staging a new site and transferring them there. While I can easily implement the original publish date of each article, I wanted to avoid a large amount of articles all displaying as updated with today’s date when they haven’t been updated in years, which is what the “Modified Date” block displays. I can leave the option off, but the articles that have been updated will not reflect that. Therefore, from what I can see, the change date edit icon seems pointless, and the “Modified Date” block is not useful for my situation.
I guess I’ll have to resort to a plugin of some sort. Thanks for your input, though.
