Announcements showing wrong date and time when delayed?

Hi there, not sure if this is from a new Canvas update, but whenever I create my announcements, I usually select the delay post option.
I believe the option is now called "Available from".

Whenever the announcement is published and students are available to see, it does show up on the scheduled time, which is no issue. But the problem is that the time that it shows when the announcement was published, it shows a different time. Most likely when the original announcement was created.

As for the example above, the announcements should have the date July 21 and July 22.  The date that it shows, July 20, is the day when I originally created the announcement. The time is also wrong. Where the announcements should have been 1:00pm and 12:00pm, respectively.

Is there a setting I should change or is this a known issue right now?


Thanks,
AK

Hi all, 

We designed and implemented a fix for this issue which will be deployed to beta in the next beta deploy and after that to production. You will be able to see the details in the upcoming deploy notes (published on October 11).
What we've done is faculty members will see 3 dates: created date, posted on date and last edited date.
Students will see 2 dates: posted on date and last edited date, where the last edited date will be visible only if it is happened after the publishing.
