Hi, first of all, I have to say that Fibery is an amazing product! I love its flexibility! For now, I am planning to use it for my personal and professional life (I am a freelancer), but I can see myself using it toget… --- ## [Date Flexibility](https://community.fibery.io/t/date-flexibility/4999)

First post. Many more to come. I have discovered Fibery’s amazing feature where fields of the same name and type can be sorted alongside one another, even if they’re in different databases. That’s absolutely nuts - I’ve… --- ## [Allow specifying TimeZone with ToText(\[Date\])](https://community.fibery.io/t/allow-specifying-timezone-with-totext-date/1921)

The documentation for ToTtext() does not mention what Timezone is used when converting a Date to Text. Ideally we could specify that the Timezone either should be chosen automatically (use our current Timezone), or else… --- ## [Today's Date Shortcut](https://community.fibery.io/t/todays-date-shortcut/8145)

One thing I really miss about Notion is the ability to type @today in any text block or comment, and have the system output the correct date. Admittedly, Fibery does not have date smart objects. So this isn’t a request … --- ## [Dates as first class citizens (in a database and as entities)](https://community.fibery.io/t/dates-as-first-class-citizens-in-a-database-and-as-entities/8195)

Something that I would like to propose that the folks at Fibery give some consideration is to promote dates to more of a first class role in Fibery. What I hope for is that dates are automatically created as entities wi… --- ## [More Flexible Date FIeld](https://community.fibery.io/t/more-flexible-date-field/2481)

Hi, I wnat to start and say that overall this is not a “real” issue. By that I mean that I can more or less have all the functionality needed in the current version. What I am about to request is more a matter of conven… --- ## [When setting date, change "\[Weekday\]" entry from \[weekday\] of this week to next occurring \[weekday\]](https://community.fibery.io/t/when-setting-date-change-weekday-entry-from-weekday-of-this-week-to-next-occurring-weekday/9780)

When typing into a date field with the name of a weekday, like Tuesday, it will select the Tuesday of the current calendar week. In my mind, it is more natural for this to refer to whatever the next occurring Tuesday is. … --- ## [Formula field: Custom formatting to the dates](https://community.fibery.io/t/formula-field-custom-formatting-to-the-dates/9619)

Looks like there’s no an easy way to format the date (eg, DateFormat()) at minimum like so YYYYMMDD (20250901) with leading zeros (not the only case). I know I could use stuff like “Left() and Right()”. But it takes thr… --- ## [Date-time formatting](https://community.fibery.io/t/date-time-formatting/9514)

Hi guys, May I request some minor improvements in date / time format options? An option in the Preferences / Date format section to omit the comma as an option?

When using the date picker, typing 5-10-24 turns into 10th May 2024 instead of 5th October 2024. It would be nice to turn on a global workspace setting to change the functionality of the widget to choose between DD-MM-Y… --- ## [Group by Date Fields](https://community.fibery.io/t/group-by-date-fields/8167)

This is a powerful feature for views. I noticed that the fibery releases are on a board view grouped by day entities. It would be great to have this functionality without having to make a database for dates --- ## [Date-time field - set a time & timezone to be shown for all users](https://community.fibery.io/t/date-time-field-set-a-time-timezone-to-be-shown-for-all-users/6035)

For date-time fields, I’d like to be able to pick a timezone that’s shown for all Fibery users. Let’s say I pick ‘UTC’ and set ‘13:00’, then a user in ‘GMT+2’ and in ‘GMT+4’ will both see ‘13:00 (UTC)’ Here is how this… --- ## [Add a default time to DateTime fields](https://community.fibery.io/t/add-a-default-time-to-datetime-fields/7504)

Similar to other requests for adding defaults to base field types, I am wondering if it would be possible to add a parameter in field settings to allow setting a default time.

It would be nice to be able to export calendars as iCal so that they can be included in other programs/calendar tools/websites.

I use military/24h time. 24h time is often represented without the colon between the hours and minutes.

When I am planning tasks it would be great to be able to enter just a month or a quarter instead of a full date. I have added an app to help me with this but I can see that it won’t scale well. --- ## [Date Formula Request](https://community.fibery.io/t/date-formula-request/3624)

Hello! This is a very small thing but I believe it would be a worthwhile improvement to readability. Currently the date range field displays both the start and end dates even if they’re the same.

This is somewhat minor, but I do feel that picking dates is a little more cumbersome than it should be (in the pop-up date pickers for Entity views). There are, I think, two reasons for this.
