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?

Your post raw looks funky here. Can you confirm you wrote this

curl -X POST `https://forum.example.com/posts.json` \
-H “Api-Key: <myKey>” \
-H “Api-Username: nobodyfrm” \
-H “Content-Type: application/json” \
-d ‘{“topic_id”: 553,“raw”: “CSD Limburg  `` [date=2025-05-10]`”}’

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.

i found my mistake: Some plugins are now included in discourse core so the plugins was outdated.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.
