change format of datetime in espocrm

[hoangphuc091]

I want to change the format display of datetime in espocrm. Default format is very difficult. I want to change to dd/mm/yyyy. Ex: Jan 23, 1990 -> 23/01/1990

It can be done only in code. client/src/views/fields/data.js # getValueForDisplay

I modified client/src/views/fields/data.js based on an old guide, but it seems it no longer has any effect.

Before

// Need to use UTC, otherwise there's a DST issue with old dates.
dateTime = moment.utc(valueWithTime, internalDateTimeFormat);

if (dateTime.format('YYYY') === today.format('YYYY')) {
return dateTime.format(readableFormat);
}

return dateTime.format(readableFormat + ', YYYY');
}

After

// Need to use UTC, otherwise there's a DST issue with old dates.
dateTime = moment.utc(valueWithTime, internalDateTimeFormat);

if (dateTime.format('YYYY') === today.format('YYYY')) {
return dateTime.format('DD/MM/YYYY');
}

return dateTime.format('DD/MM/YYYY');
}

Hello,
to avoid display as "yesterday" or alike, check the checkbox in your datefield to "numeric value". For single date fields you could use the formula datetime/format -> https://docs.espocrm.com/administrat...datetimeformat

With this approach you won`t have to code anything.

That's great! It's working perfectly. Thank you for sharing this
