Format for date and time data entry fields

Hi all,

Can anyone clarify what the format for data entry is for date and time datatype. I set up one element on SL stable demo and added it to a tracker program. I expected a picker similar to calendar but the field is blank, allowing typing of any characters or date/time format however all of them are clearly not saved as the field turns red. I could not find anything in the documentation on this.

We want to set up an event program measuring the time clients spent at different points in the health facility calculating so need to capture the time.

Thanks

Elmarie

Hi Elmarie

That value type was added to support an external client we had. I agree that we should definitely support it in our our data capture apps also, but AFAIK we do not yet.

I have added two blueprints, but nobody is assigned yet (not sure if it will land for 2.25).
