You can remove the display of the Time portion of a Date system wide by configuring the Language.
In Developer Mode, visit the *Translations *--> *Languages *Menu in the* Settings *App
Open the Language you are using and modify the display format of Time:
image [1]
The default is *%H:%M:%S* which displays Hours/Minutes/Seconds with a 24 hour clock - so 6pm is shown as 18:00:00
Use *%* to remove time entirely
Use *%H:%M* to display just Hours and Minutes
Use *%I:%M %p* to display just Hours and M

Hi,
You might be trying to do this change from the user interface, that is why you are getting this message. Field properties is not allowed to change from the user interface, it is only allowed to change it using the code, which you can do by editing the original code or by making a custom module. The second one is preferred.

Thanks

You should not do that in Python and try to change some of the very basic structure. Do adjust your QWeb report instead.
