It says here that you can change the date of a group of photos:

Learn how to organize your photos in Lightroom CC.

If I recall correctly, it changes the date and time in relation to the first one you have selected.

thank you selondon! so you should be able to! using these actions it still does not work all images still have the old unchanged date.

If you've selected a group of photos, the Shift Date Range dialog displays the current date range of your selection. The new date and time that you specify is applied to the photo with the most recent capture date in the group. Other selected photos automatically shift based on this new date.

So judging by that screengrab, it should change the one dated Feb 20 to Feb 21 and I’m guessing pushing the rest forward a day?

In the new cloud-based Lightroom CC (which is what this forum is all about)? You don't. That feature isn't available.
