How to format [Date] value in list view

[igrp]

By default [Date] value formatted as [Today] \ [Yesterday] \ [18 May] ... but how to format is always as [18.05.2017] ?
What shoud be changed in list.js and detail.js (or maybe in other files also) ? Maybe there is an example in some Espo modules ?
Could some one give a clue.

Hello
Check date format in system settings (Administration > Settings) and user Preferences. User Preferences are more important

[igrp]

Within (Administration > Settings) and user Preferences it is possible only to set a pattern like YYYY-MM-DD, MM/DD/YYYY etc.
I meant that I'd like to rid of narrations like "Today", "Yesterday" and omissions of the YYYY for the current year - they are made somewhere within Espo, but I count found the place yet :-\

Actually I added custom field definition

{
  "fields": {
    "start-date": {
      "views": "custom:views/your-entity-type/fields/start-date"
    }  
  }
}

And the code (based on "views/fields/date.js"):

Espo.define('custom:views/style-expert-certificate/fields/start-date', 'views/fields/date', function

    return Dep.extend({

        setup: function () {
            Dep.prototype.setup.call(this);
        },

        stringifyDateValue: function (value) {
            if (!value) {
                if (this.mode == 'edit' || this.mode == 'search') {
                    return '';
                };

                return this.translate('None');
            };

            return this.getDateTime().toDisplayDate(value);
        }

    });
});

However it doent make any effects - what did I do wrong ?

Hello
Set in data/config.php 'readableDateFormatDisabled' => true
Not sure it works for steam

[igrp]

Tanya, Thanks a lot, it worked out !!

By the way is there the way to do the same by for single entity / date field only ?

[tanya]

Of course. Set view for your field in entity, field view extends date view (or datetime, depends on what you need). Found all methods using 'readableDateFormatDisabled' in panent view and override this methods

[igrp]

Tanya, by the way

on https://github.com/espocrm/documenta...ustom-views.md

it says:

===
Custom views for specific fields should be specified in entityDefs section of metadata.

custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/entityDefs/YourEntityType.json

{ "fields": { "yourFieldName": { "views": "custom:views/your-entity-type/fields/your-field-name" } } } ===

shouldn't it be "view" instead ?

[tanya]

Yes, thank you

[igrp]

In case someone need the final code to stop showing TODAY / YESTERDAY short-names:

Espo.define('custom:views/ENTITY/fields/MY-date', 'views/fields/date', function (Dep) {

    return Dep.extend({

        setup: function () {
            Dep.prototype.setup.call(this);
        },

        stringifyDateValue: function (value) {
            return this.getDateTime().toDisplayDate(value);
        }

    });
});

Hi igrp,

Sorry, where should I write this code? I'm kind of new and I was trying to set up this code in order to stop seeing the formatted dates.

[esforim]

Considering it is a custom field, wouldn't it be where the documents say jorge?

https://github.com/espocrm/documentation/blob/master/docs/development/custom-views.md

Look like there 4 filepath, There is only two path with .json filetype.
