I'm trying to publish an article but it comes with an error message ''The 'publish on' date must be in the future''. I haven't set any schedule date but puts a red box around the date/time. I try choose later today but it still doesn't work. How do i change this so i can just publish straight away?

Is the content type setting ticked for 'Publishing date/time is required.'?

jenpasch CreditAttribution: jenpasch commentedWe were having this same issue, needing to have some articles scheduled to go live in an hour or 2. By ticking 'Publishing date/time is required' on, saving the settings, and then ticking it back off, we were suddenly able to do this.

felixbachman CreditAttribution: felixbachman commentedI have a content type set to 'Publishing date/time is required.' After the the time passed and the node is published, the publishing date/time is removed from the node by the cron run.
When I try to edit that node after it was published I get that error message (Valid date required for 'publish on') because that publishing date is empty.
Any idea what to do?

jonathan1055 CreditAttribution: jonathan1055 commentedHello Felixbachman,
I think your problem is the same as #1198788: Editing a published node with "Publishing date/time is required" forces users to set a new "Publish on" date/time.
But the original issue above is not necessarily the same as yours, so I am not closing this as a duplicate just yet.

pfrenssenClosing as a duplicate of #1198788: Editing a published node with "Publishing date/time is required" forces users to set a new "Publish on" date/time as per #6 and #7.edit: I was wrong, this is not a duplicate of that issue.
Comment #9
jonathan1055 CreditAttribution: jonathan1055 commentedOK. But I am not entirely sure that the original issue and comments #1-4 are the same problem as #1198788: Editing a published node with "Publishing date/time is required" forces users to set a new "Publish on" date/time. However, given that we never detected what exactly their issue was, I'm ok with closing this. It can be re-opened if the original users come back with a further explanation of the problem.

pfrenssenI closed this in error. The original issue is indeed not a duplicate of #1198788. I will edit my post in #8 to avoid any further confusion.
I do think that the original issue might not be occurring any more in recent versions of Scheduler. I have extensively tested and audited the module over the past weeks and have not encountered this. I will change the status to "cannot reproduce" instead of "duplicate".
If anyone still encounters the original issue, feel free to reopen and provide details on how to reproduce it.
