Date and Time Type

A value of this Type indicates a specific moment in time.

ADVANCED: under the hood, DateTimes are based on the Joda-Time library, and you can use Joda-Time format strings when displaying a DateTime. For example, if you say:

[[My Thing -> _modTime -> ""__KK:mm MMM dd 'yy__""]]

it will display as something like "09:24 Mar 10 '96".

In the long time, we will probably add functions corresponding to most of the capabilities of Joda-Time. If there are specific functions or features that you need, please ask for them.

There is no UI for entering DateTime values yet. (At least, not one that real people can use.) For that reason, Date and Time Type is currently marked as Internal -- you can't create a Data and Time Property yet. This will change in the future: if DateTimes are important to your use case, please say so, and we may prioritize it higher.
