Currently, the Date/Time Picker component in Adalo always requires users to select a full date (day, month, year, and time).
However, in many app scenarios—such as class schedules, appointments, reservations, or reminders—the user only needs to select a time, not a full date.
This creates unnecessary complexity for users and app creators, who often need to use workarounds or store the time as text, losing the ability to filter or compare by time.
Proposed Solution:
Add a configuration option to the Date/Time Picker component, for example:
> “Display mode: Date only / Time only / Date & Time”
When “Time only” is selected, the component would show only the time picker interface, while still storing the value as a DateTime type to maintain compatibility with filters and formulas.
Benefits:
Greatly improves user experience (UX).
Simplifies app design for scheduling and time-based features.
Eliminates the need for complex workarounds or extra fields.
Keeps full compatibility with current logic and database structures.
Use Cases:
Class or lesson scheduling apps.
Booking or appointment systems.
Task reminders or alarms.
Daily schedule planners.
