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 — for example, when the host or cleaner can't get to the property immediately to assess its condition
- Confusing user experience — 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:
- Make the date/time field at the top of the review editor fully functional so manual changes save properly, OR
- 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
