Date and Time values in Form entries

Created by Anthony Young, Modified on Mon, 20 Jun, 2022 at 12:15 PM by Anthony Young

Forms can capture Date, Time, or combined Date/Time data for each record.


Date only or Time only fields

Date only and Time only fields are captured in the local device time, but without any timezone information.

As such these are always displayed as the raw, local time values, without any time zone adjustment.


Date/Time fields

Date/Time fields are captured with timezone information since they have a complete date and time dataset.

These values are output on the web platform with adjusted time zone based on the logged-in user's timezone, or if not set (or if running in a Connector context) then the Organisation Setup timezone settings.


Our API mirrors the above, in that date only and time only fields return just raw DD-MM-YYYY or HH:MI:SS values, while Date/Time fields return as ISO 8601 format (i.e. time zone inclusive).

All other date/time values found on our API accept and return ISO 8601 format.
