DateTime Property - Display as Date Only - Constellation

General

We are working on modernizing an application (a legacy Pega UI Kit application) into Pega Constellation. The application has a huge amount of existing cases and inflight cases in Production. As we migrate from UI Kit to Constellation with the existing data model as-is, we are facing a challenge in showing the existing date-time properties as date-only.

In the existing UI Kit application, though the property type is date-time, they configured the control to capture it only as a Date. In Constellation, the pxDateTime UI control is automatically showing the time as well in the UI.

Since a huge number of inflight cases are present, we may not be able to convert all the properties from date-time to date-only.

Please recommend a solution to restrict the time options in the UI control for date-time properties.

With the data model change, you could have different embedded data structure within the case which can cause a bigger issue. In the past, we suggested to finish the case in older application and new case should be created in new application and worked upon.

In Constellation, controls are derived from the data model. Since the field is configured as a DateTime type, it will be displayed accordingly.

To support a date-only use case, you can create a separate Date property. The date portion from the existing DateTime field can then be copied into this new property.
