Just getting datepart from a timestamp

I would like to have an optional parameter dateOnly in Application.getTimeStamp()
So like this:

Application.getTimeStamp([date_only])

If date_only is true, then all timefields of the Timestamp must be zero

Or another function

Application.getDateStamp()

That would be equal to me

Now when I have a TimeStamp must reset the timeparts.
This extra method or parameter would save me time, and it makes also clear if you want a date or a time returned

I posted this as a feature request

Yes, I even got reply:

Status: closed-won't fix
Resolution:
The object retured is a date object containing all kind of fields even milliseconds, if you want date only, format as a string Also javascript does not support date objects with out time, since we are bound to JS we cannot fullfill this request.



I replied on that:

I don't ask for a date object without time, I ask a date object where time is 0
