The bug

Trying to change the date/time of an asset via the WebUI fails silently. I don't see anything in the container logs - even with verbose option activated. All assets are uploaded to Immich - no external libraries.

The UI allows the update, but no sidecar .xmp is created, and the UI does not reflect the change either.

Also trying to changing from the app on iOS leads to the same outcome.

Changing the location works perfectly fine, this makes me think it's not a permission issue at all.

Can you post the output of docker ps -a?

Does this happen for all files?

You need to reload the page in order to see the change (worked for me). For the mobile app you need to reload the timeline by pulling the view down twice.

Not working sadly, Immich is not changing the exif data of the file and neither creating or editing the .xmp sidecar file, so no change is detected even if refreshing the page, or restarting the container.

Chiming in here with the same issue as echoed from the discord help channel.

A lot of my photos and videos can have the time changed, but there are a handful that cannot. Nothing interesting showed up in the logs either time. I posted my logs in the discord link ^

Same problem here. I have many photos uploaded directly to Immich which have completely wrong dates and no way to change them. Trying to edit via the GUI results in no error but also no change to the date/time.

However, if I download the asset, completely delete it from Immich, then reupload it, I am able to change the datetime with the newly uploaded image. The metadata also seems more accurate after reupload.

I initially uploaded all my assets from a Google Photos export via Immich-Go, not sure whether that could have caused an issue?

I can reproduce this. I also uploaded most my assets with Immich-Go

We currently write metadata changes into the CreationDate field. We should probably use a higher priority one.

Immich-go started uploading a sidecar file containing DateTimeOriginal in simulot/immich-go#337.

Thanks for the clarification!

Do you guys think this should be reported in the Immich-Go repo? It seems to me quite a widely used tool, mentioned in the official Docs as well as a community project :)

when Immich-go can determine the date of capture or GPS, it injects a virtual XMP with the relevant data. Maybe, this is linked with the incident

This seems to only be associated with files uploaded with immich-go. I manually uploaded an image and had no problem with changing the date/time, but the file upload with immich-go can't be.

From the 'web client' side of things, the asset PUT call is made
the PUT /api/assets/98e7c109-dbad-42ca-9a08-97c161aef073 and its return object includes the updated date time. However a follow up GET /api/assets/98e7c109-dbad-42ca-9a08-97c161aef073 call is made and that has the date/time with the original value.

This seems odd as d0b3dd888b/server/src/services/asset.service.ts (L158) appears to return the asset back from the repository? But I just started looking through the source.

Using the admin account: the date modification is immediately visible.

Using a regular account: the date change isn't immediately reflected on the UI. However the XMP file is updated.
When refreshing the asset page, the date is correct.
