Date Fields

Date fields allow users to select dates and/or times from a calendar. It also allows users to type values, and it will attempt to format the text as a date if necessary. For example, if the user types "tomorrow at 3:00PM", the field will automatically set the value to the next date from the current date and the time to 3:00pm.

By default, the Date field picker displays a calendar with a time selector. The field has three modes: Date and time (default), Date only, or Time only. If you choose a date mode, the value will be stored as a date-time formatted string. If you choose Time only, the value will be stored as a time formatted string. You can also specify the display and expected data entry format.
