Date and time field
Log in to add to favouritesThe date and time field editors have four distinct flavours, providing the flexibility to capture the data you require.
| Type | Summary |
|---|---|
| Date | A single date picker. |
| Date and time | A date and time picker. |
| Date range | Two date pickers to provide a range. |
| Date and time range | Two date and time pickers to provide a range. |
The date range editors become available when the format of a Date / Time field is set to Range.
Note: Contensis does not support time without a date, as we store date and times as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). While there may be some use cases for time on its own, we recommend you use a text field with a regular expression for validation.
