I found the Codemine Calendar Everything plugin which is a very usable/handy calendar and now I try to create a Toolset post form to be able to add and edit those events. Everything goes pretty smoothly with your info how to handle third party custom fields, but now with date and time fields I have issues.

The form shows the date properly (when created in admin view) only in field types: text field/number/integer and the format is yyyy-mm-dd, like 2022-12-20.
If I set the field as a date field, the field is empty. The same is for the time fields, they show like 11:00:00. Also 11:00 works, but 11 doesn't. And with working I mean: they show properly in admin view and in frontend calendar.

So my questions are:
1. Is there a way to show the 2022-12-20 in the date field as 20.12.2022 and when clicking (editing), it would open the calendar date picker as usual?
2. Is there any way to add time field working similarly as the date picker?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I would like to know you have issue with date field in the backend or with frontend form.
- Is the date field belongs to third party plugin?
- How it store the date value in the database?

Toolset date custom field rely on Unix Timestamp and it will store the selected date's Unix Timestamp in the database as value.

Hi and thank you, I think I found a solution from the plugin's documentation. I will try that and if it's not working I will create a new ticket.
