Description

Hi,

I'm writing an importer for Fossil issues to Gitea issues. The Gitea API allows to create and manage issues, but always with the current date only; it can't create an issue or comment using a past date. This means my importer loses some fidelity.

I would like the option, in the API, to specify a custom date when creating or modifying a ticket. Probably this functionality should only be available to administrators (or repo owners).

Interesting, Github doesn't support a custom date too... https://developer.github.com/v3/issues/#create-an-issue

There are laws about date manipulation so probably it would be best to just include "date reported (if differing from issue date)" in a body template.

It should be in internal API that only administrator should be able to call

I think we should go the way to enhance & integrate things into gitea's own included migration tool instead :)

so I'll close this for now. If really needed ask for reopen it.
