Date Type Properties
A date-type property in Weissr can have one of three date resolutions:
Year, Month, Day
Year and Month
Year
For properties with an existing date resolution, it is possible to change the resolution. Below is a detailed explanation of how projects will behave when changing date formats for a date-type property:
1. Year Resolution
Changing to Year and Month: The date will adjust to January of the same year.
(Example: 2024 → January 2024)Changing to Year, Month, Day: The date will appear as the 1st of January of the same year.
(Example: 2024 → January 1st, 2024)
2. Year and Month Resolution
Changing to Year: Only the year will be displayed, hiding the month information.
(Example: July 2024 → 2024)Changing to Year, Month, Day: The date will appear as the 1st of the selected month in the same year.
(Example: July 2024 → July 1st, 2024)
3. Year, Month, Day Resolution
Changing to Year: The date will be shown as the year only, retaining the year from the previous full date.
(Example: July 15th, 2024 → 2024)Changing to Year and Month: The date will display the year and month from the previous full date.
(Example: July 15th, 2024 → July 2024)
Important Notes
Reverting to a Higher Resolution: If you change from a higher resolution (e.g., Year, Month, Day) to a lower one (e.g., Year), the full date will be preserved internally. If you later revert to a higher resolution, the original date will be restored.
(Example: A project with July 15th, 2024 is changed to "Year" resolution (2024). If later changed back to "Year, Month, Day," the original date, July 15th, 2024, will reappear.)Form Updates: When a date property’s resolution is changed, the updated date will be reflected in all forms associated with the project, even if those forms were previously at a different resolution. This applies even if the form is read-only, ensuring consistency across all project forms.
Date Formatting: Displayed formats depend on your application settings.
