The Time field is used to select a time from a dropdown field. The start and end time can be adjusted as well as the minutes between each time option.
Standard field options
Time fields have the following standard options:
- Field Type
- Required
- Unique
- Field Key
- CSS Layout Classes
- Label position
- Field Size
- Visibility
- Conditional logic
- Dynamic default value
- Lookup value
Field-specific options
In addition to the standard field options, Time fields have a 'Clock Settings' option.
Clock Settings
Choose between a 12 and 24 hour clock, set the minute step, and select the start and end time for your Time field.
In Formidable Forms v2.03 and later, the time field will appear in the form with three dropdown fields: hours, minutes, and AM/PM. You can check the box for show a single time dropdown to show the time field in a single dropdown instead.
Default values and field icons
Set a dynamic default value in your Time field. If you would like to retrieve a value from an entry see the Get a Value From an Entry page. If you would like to set a default value, see the Default Values page.
Field action icons allows you to duplicate, delete, and/or move a field on the form builder page. See field action icons for more information.
