How to clear date field in list view?

[Tadz]

Hi Everyone,

Is there a way to clear a date field in list view?

Somehow clearing date in list view is not available.

Please see screenshot:

Thanks,

This behavior is per design as per the ServiceNow Known Error Database.

Please refer to:

1 - Set system property glide.ui.list_edit.show_calendar_only to false, so you have a text field to enter data manually.
2 - Navigate to list view with a date field in it.
3 - Attempt to clear a value from the field. This will not work, as the popup disappears before you can delete the value.
4 - Set the system property  glide.ui.list_edit.show_calendar_only to true. The date/time field value can not be blanked out from list view.

This behaviour is by design. List v3 is now deprecated and no longer supported.

@Willem  So there is No Way to do it?  Is that what you are saying?

Couple of Options for Admins:

Clear the field value by adding the field to Form Layout (Configure >> Form Design >> Add the field ex: Disposal Date).

or

Delete the field value via Background Script.
