EASetCreationDateToStartOfDay

Overview

Adjusts the entity's creation date to the start of the day (00:00:00). Preserves the original date but sets the time component to midnight, useful for date normalization and grouping operations.

When This Action Runs

Manual execution for date standardization, reporting preparation, or when grouping entities by creation date without considering specific time components.

How It Works

1. Checks creation date - Verifies if the entity has a creation date set
2. Skips if empty - Returns success without changes if creation date is null or empty
3. Preserves date - Keeps the original date (year, month, day)
4. Sets time to midnight - Changes time component to 00:00:00.000
5. Updates entity - Saves the modified creation date to the entity

Parameters

No Parameters - Action does not require any input parameters

Database Tables Affected

• Entity Tables - Updates the creation date field (creationDate) in the entity's main table
• Audit Tables - May trigger audit logging if entity modification tracking is enabled
