Improve Publication Date Handling for Project Update Approval

Hello,
I’d love to see a change in how publication dates are handled for mods, modpacks, addons, etc. When an update goes through manual review, the publication date should be set when the update is approved, not when the author originally submitted it.

Right now, reviews can take several days, and by the time an update is approved, it gets buried in the lists, making it much less visible. This makes it harder for users to discover new updates.

Wouldn't it be better if approved updates actually appeared at the top of their respective lists when they go live? Let’s improve visibility for creators and make updates easier to find!

    Hold on!

    Before you post your idea…

    This board is being moderated, if you wish for your idea(s) to go public, please consider the following:

    1. Search for existing ideas

      If your idea already exists, vote for it, this will increase the chances for the idea to become reality. Duplicate ideas only split and lower votes

    2. No tech-support

      This board is for new ideas and feature suggestions, for technical issues or bug reports, visit/contact CurseForge Support

    3. English only

      This ensures that the idea is accessible to a wider audience and makes it easier for others to understand and vote for the idea

    4. No profanity

      Any ideas posted with foul language will not be published and get deleted

    5. Stay on point

      Avoid posting 'lists' of different ideas, we won't be able to address them with a proper status and they will get less votes from others, each idea should have its own post
