Emulate time and date input

Hello,   since Microsoft has decided that in its Forms world time doesn't exists, how you have emulated this type of input; how also with date?   Marco

    Hi MarcoMangiante 

     

    If you mean capturing timezones, dates and time, then I'd probably create those items manually in Forms.

     

    Create a drop down choice list of time zones.

     

    Add a Date.

     

    Add another drop down choice list with fixed times in it (e.g. 00:00, 00:30, 01:00, etc). It will depend on the intervals you want to add.

     

    It's manual but that will give the users a chance to input the date/time details.

     

    If you are looking for the date/time of the form submission, the form automatically captures that in the background which you can use in things like Power Automate for workflows and what not.

     

    Hope that helps with some ideas.

     

    Cheers and best wishes

    Damien
