**As** someone wanting to migrate data to OpenProject
**I want to** be able to set the createdAt and updatedAt properties when creating work packages (and other records, where applicable) via the API
**so that** I can preserve information from my source system.
**Acceptance criteria**
* As an admin user, createdAt and updatedAt properties can be set in POST requests, allowing for dates in the past
Note: The current implementation feels like a severe constraint in migrating information from other systems to OpenProject via the API. While I can understand the underlying assumption, it does hold for the use case of migrating a large number of records in one batch, IMHO. I would definitely limit this to request creating a record for the first time.
