What is the difference between a Time Field and a Date Field?

  1. A Time Field stores specific hour, minute, and second information.
  2. A Date Field stores year, month, and day information.
  3. If you need both date and time, use a date-related field that supports showing time.

How can I record the current time automatically?

  1. Time Field itself is not used as an automatic default current-time field.
  2. If you need automatic timestamps, use fields such as Created Time or Last Modified Time.
  3. If you only need a quick current-time entry, click Current Time in the time picker.

What should I do if the time format I entered is incorrect?

  1. Check whether the field is currently set to 24-hour or 12-hour format.
  2. When typing manually, enter the value in the same format used by the field.
  3. If you are unsure, use the time picker to reduce formatting errors.
