Date and Time field in form

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by DBNL 15
I have a requirement for a date and time field in a powerpages form.  It's not an automatic timestamp it's a field where the user enters the date and a particular time.  What's the best way to do this?  The corresponding DV field  where the data goes is a date/time field

    If your dataverse Date is set to be Date Time (and is not set to Date only), then by default you should see the following, note the clock in red circle allows you to set Time.
     
     
    With JavaScript/JQuery you can also tell it to display the time side-by-side so rather than the button it appears to the right of the dates without a button click.
     
    $("#field_schemaname").next().data("DateTimePicker").sideBySide(true)

    ok so  maybe I didn't explain it properly.
     
    My column in Dataverse is Date and Time.    At the Power Pages End I require the users to manually enter a date and a time.   The date picker only allows for date and automatically time stamps the time that they choose a date. I need them to be able to manually enter a specific time as well as date.
     
    In powerapps when I have requirement I just use drop downs with 24 and 60 items r..and then concatenate it with the date picker I just thought that maybe in Power Pages there maybe a better way to do it?
     
    thanks

    Place a date field on your form and the portal will render a date/time picker.
     
    if you want to set it to a specific date you can use: 
    $("#your_fieldname").next().data("DateTimePicker").defaultDate(new Date("2020-01-01"));

    Not sure what you are actually after, if you want the portal user to enter a Date-time, then you have a Date field in Dataverse configured to not be Date only, add it to your form, and the portal will render a datetimepicker control for the user.
    Or do you want to populate it with data rather than the user entering the data (or default it to a value)?
    Or are you thinking you want 2 fields one for date one for time (this will be more difficult)?
