Datetime¶

A widget used to select a date. Value is saved as a string representing a date. If no value is set, current date/time is implied.

Key	Type	Default	Description	UPM/TD
`format`	enum: `datetime` (yyyymmddHHMMSS), `date` (yyyymmdd)	`datetime`	The format of the parameter value.
`milliseconds`	bool	`false`	If `true` append milliseconds in decimals.
`timeZone`	enum: `local`, `utc`	`local`	If `utc`, the date will be saved relative to UTC with +/-zz modifier.
`storageFormat`	enum: `Fme`, `Iso`	`Fme`	`Iso` outputs strict ISO 8601 format. (e.g., `2022-07-07T12:34:56`) `Fme` outputs FME format. (e.g., `20220707123456`) Prefer `Iso` going forward.	¹
