Time field in form pulls full timestamp and more.

[Bruce.Wilson]

Hello,
I have a data source that has a field defined as 'T - time'. It is formatted as HH:MM:SS. I created an app with an Editgrid and added a form for adds and edits. If I put this time field in a form, it makes it a pull down box that has 15 minute increments. If the value in the field doesn't match the increments, the box is blank. If I choose a time from the dropdown Ex. 19:45:00 and try to save the data, I get an error that the "time" field is invalid. When I put a debug on the RPG program the value coming from the form was "Tue Jan 01 2008 19:45:00 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time)". I don't want the time field to be a pulldown, just validate that HH:MM:SS were keyed. I tried Rowediting on the editgrid and the time is treated correctly. Here is a screenshot of the form. image.png

If you want to use the form and just have it treated as a text field then change your data source to return your timestamp as a character. You can then add validation against the form field with a regular expression. There is a valence assistant button with the regular expression option to create it for you.
