Time (only) datatype for input in model-driven app/CDS/entity form

[TorbenKragelund]

I have a form where the user needs to enter (or select from time picker) a start time and a end time - the field is defined as a datetime (since there is now time only) but I can't get the form to show/validate only the time part of the field ?

I am new to building model-driven apps on CDS - I did manage to get the date part of the field filled with a date value using the business rules - but there may be more elegant ways ?

Hi @TorbenKragelund,

Currently, there is no time only out-of-the-box data type field in CDS. You would need to create a "Date and Time" field and make it time zone independent in the Advanced settings.

There is however a free Time Picker PCF (Power Apps Component Framework) custom control, that you can use in your app. https://pcf.gallery/time-picker/.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Eric

That worked - now I will just need to change it to 24 hour time 🙂
