column type first entry date with date default

Jörg Schmidt1

Hi, I couldn´t find an answer in the help articles

I set a column to "first entry date" and put the setting of the date to "long date"

Unfortunately, the entry shows the time, too - this leads to a daily automation process that is not wished.

I also tried to change the formatting to others but this doesn´t lead to any change. the format of the date stays as it is. Any idea?

Try something like this. (replace the ID part, so it matches what you need)

=Ticket@row + " | " + DATEONLY([Erstellt am]@row)

Did that work?

Hi @Jörg Schmidt1

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=DATEONLY([first entry date]@row)

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!

Hi @Andrée Starå

first I tried to change the column type from system date into text/number

than I created a new column and put your formula into the new column.

Both ways didn´t work, unfortunately.

Any other idea ? In my opinion, there is only mssing the possibility to change the format of the column

into date without time - do you agree ? 😀
