Introducing the Date type in Mendix can resolve the complexity developers encounter with the DateTime type, allowing for more intuitive and straightforward handling of date data. This change is expected to facilitate the increase of low-code developers and enhance the usability of the Mendix platform. Since Mendix operates on Java, implementing this is technically feasible with minimal barriers.
I would love to see this feature.
Its especialy weird when using a microflow from a button and a scheduled event. Since the scheduled event takes the server time zone and the button microflow uses the users timezone its possible that the exact same flow outputs different data depending on how its been called. This happens especially when dealing with data where the time doesnt matter and you try to zero it out. If we would have a date data type both flows would refer to the exact same date and output the same results. It becomes even more frustrating when you want to use the attribute as date but have to deal with multiple time zones since your region still uses summer/winter time.
Hey, Koudai. Sounds like a very nice and useful idea btw. For sure ill vote for!
