Make review date/time field functional or clearly non-editable

Problem statement

  • The date/time field at the top of the review editor appears editable but doesn't save changes when manually adjusted
  • This creates confusion about whether the field is meant to be functional or not
  • Hosts may believe they've successfully delayed a review when they haven't

Current workaround

  • Hosts must use the "Delay publishing this review till the end" toggle instead of manually adjusting the date/time field
  • This workaround works but isn't intuitive when there's a date/time field visible that looks editable

Impact

  • Positive reviews can be sent prematurely when hosts intend to delay them β€” for example, when the host or cleaner can't get to the property immediately to assess its condition
  • Confusing user experience β€” hosts expect editable-looking fields to work
  • Wasted time trying to save changes that don't persist
  • Unclear interface design that doesn't communicate the intended workflow
  • Risk of sending reviews before being able to properly evaluate the guest's stay

Proposed solution

Either:

  1. Make the date/time field at the top of the review editor fully functional so manual changes save properly, OR
  2. Make the field visually disabled/non-editable if it's not meant to be changed directly

Unlock

  • Clearer, more intuitive interface for scheduling reviews
  • Hosts could adjust review timing more flexibly if the field becomes functional
  • Reduced risk of sending premature reviews before property inspection
  • Reduced confusion and support inquiries about why changes don't save
