I significant number of photos in my collection were added via scanning them from paper photos and 35mm slides. My Aperture and iPhoto collection of photos is now in Photos iCloud. The dates associated with those photos is the date of scanning and not the date the photos were taken. Is there a way to change the date associated with the photos and is there a way to do so for an entire album or event?

Hello, hello....is there anybody in there? Just REPLY TO THE QUESTION THAT WAS ASKED if you can hear me. Is there anyone at home? ...
seriously, does anyone at Apple bother to follow up on legitimate questions like this? It's a royal pain to have photos with incorrect dates. In my case I have several groups that are dated 2037. Much as I'd wish to be able to time travel, I don't recall having taken the photos at that time.
It's been almost 2 years since the question was asked.

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem or a suggestion for change. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem/suggested change solved sooner.

The links do not answer the question, as they do not cover Photos on iCloud, just Photos on macOS.
Seriously what about editing photo detials
In iCloud?
The only way I found to do this is to download the photo to your device, then delete the photo from the iCloud, change the date and time then upload it again. I know it's time consuming but it works.
