Default Date Format

[thisistestnumber1969]

Whenever Alteryx recognizes a field as a Date, it should default to Date, not Date/Time. I don't think I'm in the minority, but I rarely need to see the date AND the time. 99.9% of all of my date fields do not have a time associate with them; such as: Open Date, Close Date, Remodel Date, Lease Expiration Date, Lease Start Date, Date Record Updated, Relocation Date, etc., etc., etc. So I always get results like 4/1/2013 12:00:00, which makes it difficult to query against without changing to just Date. I would venture to guess that most people don't use the time either, but I may be wrong. So, defaulting to just Date would save a lot of us that extra step for each date column.

Agreed! Also, about Date, add some new date formats in the datetime conversion tool ; there are some missing with the 'Mon'
 format. Additionally,  let the user add a custom date like in excel.

Agreed.  Or all for a default date type per workflow or within the connector tools.

Thank you for your idea! This idea is something our product team would like to keep in mind for future road map decisions but cannot place it on the current road map. We'll update this idea again once we know when or if we can apply it to the road map.
