What is the difference between a time field and a date field?

  2. A date field records year, month, and day information.
  3. If you need both date and time, use a date field and enable time display.

How do I record the current time automatically?

  1. A time field itself is not used to auto-fill the current time.
  2. If you need automatic tracking, consider system fields such as Created Time or Last Modified Time.
  3. Choose a manual time field or a system time field based on your record purpose.

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

  1. Check whether the field is currently using a 24-hour or 12-hour format.
  2. Enter the value again in the matching format, or use the time picker directly.
  3. If the display still looks wrong, reopen field settings and confirm that the format was saved.
