I seem to be unable to add the original air date to TV seasons (in particular, this one https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/580-star-trek-deep-space-nine/edit?active_nav_item=seasons).

When I click on the edit button for a season I get this dialog, which doesn't have a field for the original air date.

Looking at the HTML, I can see that the date picker is there, but it has display: none set, so it doesn't show up. Despite that, even setting the date from a JavaScript console doesn't seem to work.

How can I edit the dates for seasons?

I was confused about this at first as well. You need to add the first episode and set the date for that episode. From our documentation for television:

Here on TMDb, we assume the original or "first" air date for all episodes. It is assumed that the first air date of the original broadcast should be used. TV series and season air dates are assumed from their first season and first episodes respectively. This means that at least one season and one episode must exist.
