These inputs are for editing date and time values in your data.
If timezone is set in your global configuration, date values are saved with the matching offset suffix. If unset, date values are saved without an offset suffix in UTC.
For Jekyll sites, date values are saved in the Jekyll-expected format (e.g. 2021-01-09 00:00:00) rather than standard ISO 8601.
Combination date picker and 12-hour time input.
Datetime inputs are shown for inputs configured with the type datetime, for date input values, or for input keys matching:
datedatetime*_datetimeat*_at

_inputs:

[_inputs.when]
type = "datetime"{
"date": "2020-07-15T12:00:00Z"

_inputs:

[_inputs.due_by]
type = "date"
{
"sale_start_date": "2021-01-09T00:00:00Z"
}{
"due_by": "2021-01-09T00:00:00Z",
"_inputs": {
"due_by": {

}
}
}The time value is always added for Date inputs as 00:00:00 for consistency with Datetime inputs.
Single line 12-hour time input for strings of time values.
Time inputs are shown for inputs configured with the type time, or for input keys matching:
Note

"opening_time": "8:00 am"
}{
"doors_open": "8:00 am",
"_inputs": {
"doors_open": {
