Transform Post Date into Post Modified Date

[jameskoster]

It should be possible to transform Post Date into Post Modified Date, and vice versa.

I didnt include it on purpose—as you can't transform between variations within that panel out-of-the-box.

When transforms are enabled for variations, they render in the Block Inspector. Not very helpful as there's already a "Display last modified date" control.

Here's the block with variation transforms:

It could be helpful to have a method for including traditional transform UI for a block's variations—without the additional icons/select within the Block Inspector. The Group block could have "Transform to: Row".

To be honest I didn't even realise it was a variation.

It's generally a bit confusing that we have these different ways to transform, I suspect the nuance will be lost on most users. If they get used to transforming one way, they'll probably gravitate towards that method, so it might be confusing not to find intuitive transforms therein?

Yea, it shouldn't matter if a block is a variation or not; a variation is basically just easier programmatically.
