[rt-users] Is it possible to change the date format for some specific searches

[Alex Peters]

If you're willing to write some code, you could create a callback that
modifies the $COLUMN_MAP variable, which defines all of the different
column types and how they are prepared.  You could then create a column
called "DueDate" which outputs just the date of the due date/time.

Create
$RTHOME/local/html/Callbacks/DueDate/Elements/RT__Ticket/ColumnMap/Once
with this content:

<%args>
$COLUMN_MAP
</%args>
<%init>
$COLUMN_MAP->{'DueDate'} = {
    title     => 'Due', # loc
    attribute => 'Due',
    value     => sub {
        my $ticket = shift;
        my $date = $ticket->DueObj;
        return '' if not $date->IsSet;
        return $date->Date;
    }
};
</%init>

Then, clear your Mason cache and restart your RT server:

You should now see a "DueDate" choice when building searches.  The code can
be copied for other date/time values, or you could put a loop into the code
above.
