Can't change year of some albums

Plex Media Server
1

Hello,

For tracks initially without year metadata, Plex defaults to 1970-01-01 or similar, and changing the local metadata or chaning the plex metada and locking the date, doesn’t work.

Does Plex use “Year”, as it names the field “Originally available” ion the metadata dialog.

When looking at the list of albums, many don’t have years in the local of plex metadata (these are mostly singles):

Yet when you open the metadata for one, it enters a default of around 1969-1970:

This was an issue a few years ago: Bug: Date edits revert to 1969-12-31 (+/- a day depending on time zone) - #80 by russbgrant

And apparently is still present: Reddit - Dive into anything

Does anyone know of a solution?

Thanks
