Timestamp field type uses numeric filter plugin rather than date filter plugin

This issue present in Drupal 10.0.x as well. Any update expected for this issue in core itself?

Should probably move this to 11.x now.

I tried the hack in #7 but it didn't work for me under 10.x

I have had some success in combating the problem by using https://www.drupal.org/project/better_exposed_filters → but it's not perfect.

This is a very annoying bug for filtering dates (manifesting as timestamps) by exposed filter... :/

#7 works with me in conjunction with the date_popup → module.

#7 works for me using Drupal 10.3.6, patch is attached.
It should work with Drupal 11 as the views.views.inc file is the same for these 2 releases.

Thanks for working on this but issues should be in MRs vs patches and will need test coverage.

I've opened an MR.

Like #13 the patch does the job for me in Drupal 10.3.6.
Thanks for the MR #16
I was happy when I found this issue and its solution - after a couple of hours! :-)

Minor refactor of MR for code readability. Rebased MR. Test coverage still required.

This MR is no longer necessary as the required changes have already been addressed in the source branch. The fix for the issue can be found in EntityViewsData.php.

https://git.drupalcode.org/project/drupal/-/blob/11.x/core/modules/views...

#21 if you're sure it's been fixed, this issue status can be set to fixed or closed..?

Can someone please test issue against 11.x?
Also, do we still need tests for this?

Tested the scenario again 11
- Steps taken
-- Created a content type and added a custom field of type timestamp.
-- Created a view that displays the content type
-- Added a filter for the created timestamp field.
- Test Failed

Even after applying the change from this Drupal core commit, which sets the filter type to date, the mapping still does not work correctly for custom fields.
I am investigating further to resolve this issue.

We can alter the numeric date field to actual date time field through drupal's hook_form_views_exposed_form_alter
below is the code using the hook

function views_form_views_exposed_form_alter(&$form, FormStateInterface $form_state, $form_id){
  if($form_id=="views_exposed_form"){
    $form["field_published_date_time_stamp_value"]["#type"]='datetime';
  }
}

Below are the screen shots of before and after applying the drupal hook
