I need the date of the actualend-field from the activity-entity. But the field saves time and date and I can't chance the settings to only date. I'm going to usw them in a flow. Is there a way to seperate them?

RE: Separate date and time

Hi partner,

As ba365guy said that we could not change the type of field since it has been published. I suggest that you could create another text field and use js code to get the date from actualedn-field and set it as a value to your new field.

function onLoadDate(executionContext){

    var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();

    var date1=formContext.getAttribute("new_dataandtime").getValue();

    if(date1!=null&&date1!=undefined){

        var time1=new Date(date1);

        var year=time1.getFullYear();

        var month=time1.getMonth()+1;

        var day=time1.getDate();

        var date2=year+"-"+month+"-"+day;

        var time2=new Date(date2);

        formContext.getAttribute("new_dateonly").setValue(time2);

    }



}

Hope it helps.

Best Regards,

Leo

Hi Ar0x

I am afraid making changes to out of the box "activity" entity is not supported.

System doesn't allow you add / modify the fields in this entity.

You might choose to do changes (using new field / JavaScript) in "Task" entity (if it supports your requirement).

Hello,

You can add a separated field and extract pure data into it using JS (like this - www.w3schools.com/.../jsref_getdate.asp) or plugin and use other field in your flow afterwards.

Change the field type to Data only than Date and Time.
