Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.Problem/Motivation
In Drupal 7 the granularity of date filters for views could be configured:
As things are now, exposed filters for date fields allow a user to only enter an exact time (and if the operator is set to = then it will only match content with the exact time).
Proposed resolution
Allow granularity to be specified when configuring the views filter.
Remaining tasks
User interface changes
API changes
Data model changes

bkosborneSo if a granularity of "day" is selected for a datetime, the idea is that views would not attempt to fill in a time to make a complete datetime, right? This is indeed very useful for creating an exposed date range filter, where you expose a filter for the start date and end date, and reveal any events that take place within those days. Right now you need to select a specific time in the exposed filter which is a pain.

bkosborne#2627512: Datetime Views plugins don't support timezones appears close to being committed and it refactors the date filter plugin, which this issue will need to modify. So best to wait until that is in before tackling this one.
