the only manipulation of the “Post Date/Time” data (dates actually in Julian format) is if either of two check-and-replace is true:
  • if “Post Date” = “current date” replace “Post Date” with “Today”
  • if “Post Date” = “current date - 1” replace “Post Date” with “Yesterday”
otherwise the system uses “Post Date” as is

further (and to GW’s point), I’d guess that IB will have little to no interest in fixing this, as it’s either too deeply embedded in their overall architecture or (like more than a few other FT attributes) it’s unique to FT
This is essentially correct, yes. Mustering resources to make a change in core is always a challenge. Is it preferable that it is ALWAYS the date? That's an option (and the default one, based on our other sites). I'm still hesitant to change that, since you know how everyone can react to even the smallest changes
