# Date and time

Picking a date, time or month: a delivery date, a call time, a birth month. The choice goes into the variable.

## Settings

- **"Variable"**, **"Label"**, **"Default value"** — as for [all fields](https://support.watbot.org/mini-apps/elements/fields#shared-settings).
- **"What to pick"** — "Date", "Time", "Date and time", "Month and year".
- **"How to show"** — "Calendar inline" or "As a button". The button takes one line, and the calendar opens on a tap.
- **"Behaviour"**:
  - "Wheel instead of the calendar" — the date is turned with drums, as in an alarm clock;
  - "Multiple dates can be picked" — several dates go into the variable as one comma-separated string;
  - "“Done” and “Cancel” buttons" — the choice applies with a button, not at once;
  - "Clear button" — resets the choice.
- **"Date limits"** — the earliest and the latest date, for example `2026-01-01` and `2026-12-31`. Dates outside the limits cannot be picked.
- **"State"** — "Disabled".
