 If we set a date when inserting a post with the status of pending/draft,
 WordPress does not display that date when editing the post


 {{{#!php
 <?php
 // Create post object
 $my_post = array(
                 'post_title'    => 'test title'  ,
                 'post_content'  => 'test content',
                 'post_status'   => 'pending',
                 'post_date' => '2022-09-01 10:38:00',
                 'post_date_gmt' => '2022-09-01 08:38:00'
 );

 // Insert the post into the database
 $id = wp_insert_post( $my_post );
 }}}

 Expected when editing the post to see the set date

 current behavior: the date does not display, instead it shows
 "Immediately"
