Hello, date with type "year/month/day" shown under flat form only like a year. A similar issue, with date formating, was here and it was solved in the suggested manner, through customizing cell. But under flat form it impossible, due to year reflects only in the data object. Please have a look for example http://jsfiddle.net/g032ex4o/
Thanks in advance

Hello, Sergii,
Thank you for reaching out to us.
For such a case, our team kindly suggests using the date string date data type.
Here is a JSFiddle example for illustration: https://jsfiddle.net/flexmonster/vdLgraf0/
Please let us know if this would work for you.
Looking forward to your reply.
Kind regards,

Hello Vera, thanks for your response. But in case of using 'date string' type, I lose the opportunity to filter by this field with such conditions as 'before', 'after', 'between' etc, what is unacceptable.

Hello, Sergii,
Thank you for your reply.
We have not managed to reproduce the problem with date filters not being available for fields of type date string.
Please see the following JSFiddle for illustration: https://jsfiddle.net/flexmonster/62fk1d9q/
In the example, when the "Apply Date Filter" button is clicked, the before date filter is applied.
Please let us know if this works on your end.
Looking forward to your reply.
Kind regards,
Vera

Hi Vera,
The problem with using string is we are losing the ability to filter individually by year, month, and day. It's a great feature our users will appreciate, so we don't want to compromise by getting rid of it. Do you have a solution for being able to stick with "year/month/day", in order to have the filtering capability like described, and have the values reflect as a full date in the flat layout? If not, are you expecting that a solution will be implemented at some point?
Regards,
Gennady
