I’d like to create topics and set a time in the future to automatically publish them.  
It’s strange for me that there is no this setting at the creation stage.  
I fond the ability to change the date anf time of publishing AFTER it’s published in the topic actions \> set topic timer \> schedule publishing  
So the order is strange for me.  
I think there should be some setting to set the time of publishing BEFORE it is published.

You can use shared drafts and topic timers. Check out [Shared Drafts: Allow staff to collaborate on posts before publishing](https://meta.discourse.org/t/shared-drafts-allow-staff-to-collaborate-on-posts-before-publishing/83493) and all the links there. 🙂
