#61189: REST API: Attachments are not uploaded to the post's year/month folder

 If you upload an image to an existing post through the old media library
 modal, the image will be stored in the `wp-content/uploads/<year>/<month>`
 based on the post's publish date. For example, now is May, but if I upload
 it to a post from January, the image will be in `wp-
 content/uploads/2024/01`.

 However, when uploading an image via the REST API (for example via drag &
 drop in the block editor), this is not the case, even though
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/40343#comment:2 this comment on
 #40343] says otherwise.

 So for consistency reasons, `WP_REST_Attachments_Controller` should be
 updated to match the media modal behavior (which can be found in
 `media_handle_upload()`.



 Props @patricia70 for helping me discover this.
