Date Time Field

The datetime field.

The DateTime Field builds on the standard Date Field and leverages the Bootstrap DateTime plugin under the hood. You can learn more about this plugin on its GitHub page: https://github.com/Eonasdan/bootstrap-datetimepicker.

For more information on date and time formatting strings, see the Moment.js documentation: http://momentjs.com/docs/.

The default date time format is assumed to be MM/DD/YYYY HH:mm:ss. This is an American approach to the date with a 24-hour clock. If you want to have an AM/PM selector, you can set the dateFormat to MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm:ss a.
