Q: Cannot save "Release Date" field in iTunes/Windows 12.4.0.119

Cannot save "Release Date" field in iTunes/Windows 12.4.0.119

I just updated to 12.4.0.119 and can no longer add Release Date to a TV Show.  When i go into "Get Info" and type in the Release Date, it allows me to enter a valid date, but as soon as i tab out of the field it clears itself.  If i enter the date and click "Ok", the date is not saved.

Windows 10, null

    Thanks for letting us know, Larry! I've been checking occasionally, but wouldn't have again for another few days likely. This will get me back on track quicker!

    I have had the same issues except with editing PDF’s in Windows 10 + iTunes 12.  Once upon a time you could edit both the release date and publication year. It helped keep things ordered. Now you can only edit the year if it was set previous to iTunes 12. Otherwise any new imports (except those bought from iTunes Store) will not show the “year” field.

     

    I called Apple Support to discuss the problem. I was put on hold for a while and then he came back with some standardized nonsense like “the software is working as intended” and offered nothing more.

     

    I just don’t get them. It’s always two steps forward and one step back.

    I am running iTunes 12.4.2.4 on a PC with Windows 7 I cannot add or change the Release Date.   This is especially annoying because Apple TV uses the Release Date as a sort field when displaying TV shows.

    I'm having the same problem with podcasts, really messes with the order of podcasts in the queue, iTunes is currently version 12.4.2.4 and it's still not been fixed.  Can this be fixed already? Or just remove the option if it's not going to be fixed.

    Just updating since Apple won't fix it but it's now October and there have been a few updates to iTunes but this issue still hasn't been fixed.
