Since April 9th we have a problem when creating deals via API. The close date is no longer applied correctly, instead of the close date the created\_at or updated\_at date is applied.

Object:

```lia-code-sample
SimplePublicObject Object
(
 [container:protected] => Array
 (
 [id] => 12XXXXXXXXX
 [properties] => Array
 (
 [amount] => 0
 [amount_in_home_currency] => 0

 )

 [properties_with_history] =>
 [created_at] => DateTime Object
 (
 [date] => 2024-04-17 11:28:59.855000
 [timezone_type] => 2
 [timezone] => Z
 )

 [updated_at] => DateTime Object
 (
 [date] => 2024-04-17 11:28:59.855000
 [timezone_type] => 2
 [timezone] => Z
 )

 [archived] =>
 [archived_at] =>
 )

)

```

When I check the Deal in the Overview I can see that the Close Date isn’t correct.

Ok, looks like Hubspot introduced a Pipeline automation which will change the close date when the phase changes, I disabled it and now it works as intended.
