Hiding the time part of your datetime control in Dynamics 365

Recently I got a requirement where I needed to hide the time part of your datetime control. Basically I had a Datetime field of format date and time, but when the control is shown on the form, I only needed to show the date part and hide the time part.

I was searching and then our CRM bible – Microsoft docs saved me. There is nice method lying there – setShowTime which does just that.

So if my datetime field schema name is new_datefield1, to hide the time part all I need to do is – formContext.getControl(“new_fielddate1”).setShowTime(false);

Small functionality but quite useful and needed in almost every project.
