XPages date only fieldonly

Question

Is it possible to create a date only field in XPages? I have tried the following in the querySaveDocument event but the field still ends up with a time portion of 00:00:00

var notesDoc:NotesDocument = document1.getDocument();
var dt:NotesDateTime = session.createDateTime(@Today());
dt.setAnyTime();
notesDoc.replaceItemValue("MyDateField", dt);

Answer 1

It is not completely clear what you are trying achieve.

You can put an EditBox component on your XPage, then go to the "Data" tab. From there you can change the formatting from String to Date. More options should appear on how to format the date in the field. It will handle passing the date to the back end document.

If it is you want to write directly to the back end document, then here is a page listing samples on working with NotesDateTime.

Here is code by Sven:

ndt = session.createDateTime(ndt.getDateOnly());
item.setDateTimeValue(ndt);

error in date items, daylight Saving

Update:

I had to do the same thing and found out that it's working this way in Java agent in 8.5.2FP3:

DateTime dt = session.createDateTime(new java.util.Date());
dt.setAnyTime();
doc.appendItemValue("DT", dt);
