This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client needed to change the publishing date of a translated article to match the date when the translation was actually published, but found that the date fields were locked and unchangeable in both 'edit' and 'quick edit' modes.
Solution:
We recommended the client to first ensure they are in the backend of the site and have switched to the desired language. They should then navigate to Posts or Pages, hover over the translated page/article, and select 'edit' or 'quick edit'. If using 'edit', the option to change the date should be available on the right sidebar. If a popup appears, they should select 'continue editing'.
If the above steps do not unlock the date fields, we advised going to WPML > Settings and unchecking the 'Copy Publishing Date to Translations' option. After making this change, the client should make a small modification in the default language of the post to enable editing the date for the translated version.
If this solution does not resolve the issue or seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If problems persist, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.
