Hi How can I add a property of type DateTimeOffset from ABP Suite? currently it seems that only DateTime is supported.

If ABP Suite does not support, are there any other ways to define the type as DateTimeOffset without manually changing the generated C# code? Thanks

    Hi, ABP Suite does not support DateTimeOffset for now. It supports DateTime, DateOnly, and TimeOnly types for date/time operations.

    If ABP Suite does not support, are there any other ways to define the type as DateTimeOffset without manually changing the generated C# code?

    Actually, there might be one tricky way to do that in the current structure: You can customize all DateTime templates and change the relevant places to DateTimeOffset type. But this approach might be programmatic, because in your solution then you'll not be able to use the DateTime type, and also schematics might not reflect the changes as expected. Btw, i don't suggest to customize templates for that, but it seems this is the only way for now, and it's really problematic.

    Regards.

    Currently, ABP Suite does not provide an option to select DateTimeOffset as a property type in the property type dropdown when generating entities or CRUD pages. Only types like DateTime, DateOnly, and others are available.

    If you need to use DateTimeOffset, you will have to manually update the generated C# code after using ABP Suite. There is no built-in way in ABP Suite to define a property as DateTimeOffset without editing the code after generation.

    For reference on defining properties in ABP Suite:

    • You can only choose from the types listed in the dropdown.
    • After generation, you can change the property type in your entity, DTOs, and database migration files to DateTimeOffset as needed.

    Thanks. Do you have any plans to add support for DateTimeOffset in the near future?

    There is no certain date or milestone for supporting the DateTimeOffset type. However, we have an issue for that in the backlog, and in each sprint, we prioritize some features according to your requests.
