Date Fields aren't Functional

(Incomplete Feature, To be Fixed , Priority: Medium, Test Status: No automated tests yet , Reported By Bad Link: Thing 3y284og not found, )
Date and Time
Summary: Date fields are non-functional, because they don't tell you enough about them to enter them reasonable.
Specifically:
  1. Create a new model
  2. Create a new property
  3. Choose date and time field
This field apparently takes milliseconds since epoch, but nothing makes that clear at all; ideally, there would be a date picker of some kind, but even a comment saying "This is in thousands of seconds" would have helped.
Justin: true, but I'm going to call this one "unimplemented feature". Basically, only the back end of dates has been implemented, mostly so that I could write the _modTime Property for sorting. There's been no UI work on Dates yet at all, and it's known that they aren't usable yet. The medium-term plan is to expose joda-time style formatters for output, and calendars/spinners for input, but it's not terribly high priority.
That said, I'll add an Issue for it.
