LC re-writes the Capture Date after sending image to published service

I'm sharing this as a bug because it feels like it's a bug.

When I add a photo to one of the services under Publish Service, LRC overwrites the meta data Capture Date with today's date.  I have a library that's very organized, by date, as it should be.  Not the date the file was created, but as accurately as possible, the date the photo was taken, which is more likely the date that the photo was originally developed.  We all know that scanning negatives does nothing for us when it comes to keeping track of chronology, so I have a script that stamps scanned photos with the correct date so importing into LRC results in the proper chronology.

 

It seems that publish services screws that up.  After publishing a photo, all of the dates are re-written to the current date on the original.

 

I want to be able to control this so the service to which I'm publishing the photo is also able to properly date the photo according to when the photo was taken, not when the new copy of the file was created.

14.1.1 did in fact fix the problem.

To help narrow things down please - since there are many many fields within LrC which report various natures of date - what specific metadata in the file does your script rewrite before import?

 

Where is this revised date then seen / not seen in the Catalog after import? Then, after adding the image to a Publish service, in which particular metadata field(s) is this date seen (from within the Catalog) to have been reset? Or, are you viewing attributes of the external file directly?
