Field time

Version: Free.

Why this type

A time field, not a free string. Put the date in a separate date field. It fits a schedule and opening hours.

When to use

• Webinar start time with date elsewhere
• "Open until 6pm" in contact
• Delivery slot without full datetime

Tips

Single date+time value use datetime. Site timezone is a MODX concern, not the field.

Similar types

• datetime for full timestamp
• date for calendar day only
