Allow non-staff site members to create invite to topic

I’ve had trouble creating an invite with the arrive_at topic enabled as a user.

I can see the Invite button after clicking “Share” on the topic in public sections. But when I create the invite, the “arrive_at” field isn’t set in the database (I checked the topic_invites table with Data Explorer). When I edit the invite later, the “arrive_at” field doesn’t show up and can’t be edited.

I looked for related settings in both admin and group settings and couldn’t find any.

We’re not using must approve users. We have trust_level_2 in Invite allowed groups setting.

Seems like there must be some other setting (or hard-coded) limit to use topic invites.

UPDATE: I think this is a bug actually. I can reproduce this issue here on Meta in this very topic. It’s impossible to create an invite link with arrive at topic set (as a tl2 user, not staff).
