How can I set the time in Liferay Objects https://liferay.dev/c/message_boards/find_thread?p_l_id=119785294&threadId=121642780 2026-04-05T10:38:25Z 2026-04-05T10:38:25Z Adrian Häussler https://liferay.dev/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=119785294&messageId=121647064 2023-02-08T22:01:15Z 2023-02-08T08:50:42Z

<p>My own findings:</p> <p>At this point its not possible to set the Time, there already is an issue: <a href="https://issues.liferay.com/browse/LPS-143068">https://issues.liferay.com/browse/LPS-143068</a></p> <p>For not displaying the time I came up with a workaround, not sure if there is a better approach:<br /> I added following CSS to the div that displays the time</p> <pre> <code class="language-java">.dateDiv{ width: 8ch; //8characters wide, bcs 00/00/00 height: 1rem; overflow: hidden; }</code></pre> <p>Greetings<br />     </p>

<p>Hello guys :)</p> <p>I'm on Liferay 7.4u55, working with objects.<br /> I created an object, added a field of type &quot;date&quot;, I created a form. Now it seems to me, that the input is of type &quot;date&quot;, without possibility to set a time. (added 2 images <strong>img1 &amp; img2</strong> of form-builder and 1 form container <strong>img3</strong>)<br /> <br /> This date becomes a DATETIME in the database (<strong>img4</strong>), with a time value of 00:00:00.000000 which gets displayed as 12:00 AM, which does not look nice (<strong>img5</strong>).</p> <p>This brings me to two questions:<br /> How can I set a time in my objects, is there a possibility?<br /> How can I hide the time in the frontend?</p> <p> <strong>Best Regards</strong> <br /> <strong>Adrian</strong> <br /> <br /> <strong>img1 </strong>(Date input with reference)</p> <p> <img alt="" height="165" src="/documents/d/guest/datefieldwithref-png?imagePreview=1" style="margin: 0.0px;" width="400" /> <br /> <br /> <strong>img2 </strong>(datetime input without reference)<br /> <img alt="" height="177" src="/documents/d/guest/datetimewithoutref-png?imagePreview=1" style="margin: 0.0px;" width="400" /></p> <p> <br /> <strong>img3 </strong>(form container without datetime possibility)<br /> <img alt="" src="/documents/d/guest/formcontainer-png?imagePreview=1" /> <br /> <br /> <strong>img4 </strong>(database DATETIME)<br /> <img alt="" src="/documents/d/guest/databasedatetime-png?imagePreview=1" /> <br /> <br /> <strong>img5</strong>(display with stupid <strong>12 AM</strong> time)<br /> <img alt="" src="/documents/d/guest/displayofdate-png?imagePreview=1" /> <br />  </p>
