Date & Time Fields

Populi's Date/Time fields accept nearly any sort of date or time text entry ( in addition to more conventional entries like 8/19/16, etc.).

How do you know if your entry works?

Look at the field's outline. If it turns red, your entry won't work. If the outline remains gray, then your entry will work!

Check out the list below to get an idea of what you can enter; you can also combine these in different ways. Try out "Next Friday 2PM" or "Next month 10 AM"—it'll understand what you're doing.

Of course, you can always just click the calendar and pick a date using that.

If you don't specify a time, Start fields will insert "12:00 AM" and end fields will insert "11:59 PM".
