Does it work if you do it from the UX? Do you have any third post party plugins?

no, it dont work from the normal user ux/frontend.

What Discourse version are you on? [תמונה] nobodyfrm: curl -X POST https://forum.example.com/posts.json` -H “Api-Key: ” -H “Api-Username: nobodyfrm” -H “Content-Type: application/json” -d ‘{“topic_id”: 553,“raw”: “CSD Limburg [date=2025-05-10]”}’` Your post raw looks funky here. Can you confirm you wrote this curl -X POST `https://forum.example.com/posts.json` \ -H “Api-Key: ” \ -H “Api-Username: nobodyfrm” \ -H “Content-Type: application/json” \ -d ‘{“topic_id”: 553,“raw”: “CSD Limburg `` [date=2025-05-10]`”}’ [תמונה] nobodyfrm: This error trigger via normal frontend post also! Or share a video/screenshot of what you are typing in the composer.

your curl creates a post but the date is quoted text - not a date. [grafik] [grafik]

i found my mistake: Some plugins are now included in discourse core so the plugins was outdated. After I fixed this it works as expected.

I am not sure if this is the solution for me since I have had it happen after updating Discourse thus, any core plugins should have updated with discourse in my case. Reference my Post: Internal Server Error - Time/Date Insert - Support - Discourse Meta Someone referenced this one, but while I think its related, I don’t know if its 100% the same.

האם זה עובד אם עושים זאת מה-UX? האם יש לך תוספים של צד שלישי?
