Reported Problem for How I Met Your Dad

Item: How I Met Your Dad
Language: en-US
Type of Problem: Design_issue
Extra Details: This TV Show (How I Met Your Dad) and others like it, had a pilot produced but it was never officially released. Because of that, this show perpetually has no release date and thus is always at the top of the credits for everyone involved with the other items that don't have release dates... though the rest are typically to-be-released projects.
On May 14, 2014, CBS passed on picking up How I Met Your Dad since show creators Craig Thomas and Carter Bays did not want to reshoot the pilot.
On July 11, 2014, Bays confirmed that the spin-off project was officially dead.
It was leaked online on June 23, 2020, which is the closest thing to a "release", but doesn't really qualify.
Is there some release date that's acceptable to be added in cases like these? How should this be handled?
