Hide time in Table widget

[AmyRoust]

I'm using the Table widget in Experience Builder (the online version, not developer edition). My date fields are displaying the time, and I'm wondering if there is a way to hide that? Time is irrelevant for this dataset - they just need to track the date.

Hi @AmyRoust ，

You can hide fields in the table widget settings.

Uncheck unnecessary fields to hide them at runtime.

@ShengdiZhang - that won't resolve my problem. I'm asking about hiding the time in a date/time field. I don't want to hide the entire field, but rather just the time. (See screenshot in original post.)

[ShengdiZhang]

@AmyRoust Sorry, I misunderstood your question.

If you just want to hide the time but keep the date, you can open your map in the new Map Viewer.

Select the layer, click on "Configure fields", and then select the field Last Invoice Date. Disable the "Show time" option, and you can see that only a date remains in the field.

Thank you, @ShengdiZhang . Unfortunately, the table widget in Experience Builder does not honor that setting. I already have the time suppressed in the Map Viewer, but it still displays in the table widget.

Hi @AmyRoust! I am having the same exact problem. I've formatted the field to not show time everywhere I can think, but Experience Builder still shows the time. The only other place the time is visible is in the Content > Item Details > Data. The Table Widget must pull directly from the data source and ignore all formatting done in Map Viewer (even though the widget data is sourced from the map which is formatted correctly). 

Have you found a solution to your problem?

[AmyRoust]

Unfortunately, I have not found a solution. I prefer to use the Edit widget when I am updating that dataset because of that specific issue, but my end user manages the entire program and sometimes needs to update several sites at once. I submitted an ArcGIS Idea yesterday that included this request.

Any updates on that? I'm trying to migrate from WAB to Experience Builder...

I just checked the site that I had the issue on - the table is still displaying times and I don't see a button to suppress that or honor the SmartForms settings. As far as I know, this enhancement has not been implemented.

Amy, did you make an official enhancement request or another post as @TonghuiMing suggested? I am running into the same issue; my end user wasn't able to save changes in a date field without entering a time as well, even though all other places the referenced dataset appears has the time toggled off. Not a big deal as they can just enter a time, but I'd prefer to just not see it at all, same as you.
