Day of week shown in Date Fields

Hi Team - I have been asked if there is a way to show the day of the week either in the date field or the hover over.

So at the moment in the date/time field in lists it shows "04-08-2017 08:56:45"

What my users are asking for is a way to see "Friday 04-08-2017 08:56:45" either in the list or as a hover over.

The reason for this is so that when performing investigations across tickets they do not need to always have a calendar open to know if the work was done during business hours, etc.

While it is a nice to have it is not urgent, just wondering if anyone else has an insight.

Cheers

Andrew

I raised a ticket to Hi and received the following which has worked for me.


Under System Properties >> System >> Date Format


  • Change to "E dd-MM-yyyy"


Then in System Definition >> Validation Scripts >> Date/Time


Modify the script (I recommend copying the current script into the Description Field)



function validate(value) {


        // empty fields are still valid dates


        if(!value) {


                return true;


}


return (getDateFromFormat (value , 'E dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss') != 0) ;


}
