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, Experts.

I'm testing New York ppm and there is a Project Schedule Date Format which gives an option of only Date instead of date/time format.

I'm checking it now to see if it is ok. I have an issue with dependencies with milestones because the milestones move to the next business day and I would like to have them on the same day has the previous task.

Honestly,

ServiceNow really needs to address this.  Such a simple request, a date format that every other application on the planet supports, and we need to customize?  Silly.  I'm going to look for a HI enhancement ticket and if one doesn't exist, it will.

As an addition to lks's post above:

// date to string

var stringDateOnly = abc.toString().split(" ")[0];

// where variable abc contains the Date/Time to be shortened to Date only.

Result:

<Information Message Here> on 2019-05-08, Action is required.

Passed the variable from a client script to the script include, got the date and passed it back in a comment for client viewing. works well
