switch to numeric date in Email settings

[shalmaxb]

I prefer numeric date format in all my entities, but Email entity is not customizable. How can I achieve it there?

You can just make the field like dateSent custom under custom\Espo\Custom\Resources\metadata\entityDefs\E mail.json

{
    "fields": {
        "dateSent": {
            "customizationDisabled": false
             "useNumericFormat": true,
            "minuteStep": 30​
        }
    }
}​ 

You can apply this to all fields that are by default have customizationDisabled => false under the original entityDefs of Email.json
This will allow the field to be customizable and at the same time use the numeric format.

I guess, this would not be update safe, right.

[rabii]

this should be upgrade safe but consider what yuri mentioned here.

I do not recommend to disable "customizationDisabled" for fields. It is made for reason. More headache for us with broken systems. Sometimes I wish Espo were not too customizable.

I understand that and I avoid messing with the non customizable things. But perhaps it could be an idea, if you consider to offer a global configuration for date numeric or not.
Besides that, I would not wish, espoCRM would be less customizable, it brings so much fun and cheerful moments to my life.....
