Remove time from date/time field

[brostoff17]

I want to remove the time from a date/time field that is already existing.   It looks like I cannot change the field type to just "date".   However, I dont want to deactivate the field or have to create a new field.

Is there a way I can add an attribute to the field so it doesnt display the time?

Hi Josh,

You will have to write onchange client script to remove time from date/time field.

Please refer below post for code and modify according to your requirements.

How do you remove time from date field?

Hi Sachin,

That post doesnt look like its about hiding the time part of the field.

Thanks,

Hi Josh,

You can use below code to just get date and update in your date/time field.

var dateTimeStr = g_form.getValue('u_date_time');

var dateArr = dateTimeStr.split(' ');

var date = dateArr[0];

Hi Josh,

The only thing I'm aware of what you can do is zero out the time.

You can trim down the date like this:

g_form.setValue("your_date_field", g_form.getValue("your_date_field").split(" ")[0]);

but you won't be able to save it as it violates the type of the field.
