How to put initial time that is saved in the database

Hey everyone,
I’m using the Air Date and specifically using “Only Time Picker” and I save two data points, opening time and closing time, and when user clicks edit I want to show the previous selected times in the time picker but I can’t do that, is there anyway?

Hello @momenheshamahmed ,

I’ve tested your setup, and while the plugin in “Only Time Picker” mode does allow you to set an initial value (initial date), it is limited to a single date. Unfortunately, this is a plugin limitation, and you most likely won’t be able to bypass it without a workaround.

One possible solution would be to use two separate time pickers—one for the start time and another for the end time—and link each time picker to two different fields of the same record (start time and end time).

Could you kindly provide more information about the specific use case you’re trying to achieve? This will help me suggest a better solution, either with the plugin you’re currently using or by verifying your plugin settings to see if adjustments can be made to suit your needs.

Looking forward to your reply!

Hello @momenheshamahmed,

Just checking in — were you able to try the workaround we suggested (two separate time pickers — one for start time and one for end time)? :slightly_smiling_face:

Quick recap:

  • “Only Time Picker” mode allows an initial value but is limited to a single date/time (plugin limitation).
  • A common workaround is using two time pickers and saving them to separate fields (start_time / end_time).

Could you tell us what you tried and whether it worked?

Hey Egor,

Thanks for your response!

I’m already using two time pickers one for opening time and one for closing time
but the problem that when I go to edit the saved times I can’t show it in the time picker as default value,
Is there a solution for this problem?

Hi @momen,

Thanks for the clarification! Just to make sure we fully understand your use case — are you trying to pull previously saved start and end times from the database and set them as the default (initial) values in each Air Date/Time Picker (in “Only Time Picker” mode)?

If so, that should generally work, but it would help to confirm exactly:

  • What you’re saving in the database (field type and format),
  • And how you’re trying to reference that value as the picker’s default.

To better assist you, could you please:

  1. Share screenshots of your current setup, including:
  • The Date/Time Picker element settings,
  • The related database structure,
  • And the workflow or dynamic expressions used to set the default values.
  1. Add a short comment or highlight on what works and what’s not showing up as expected.

That way we can check if it’s a formatting issue, a mismatch in data type, or something else plugin-related.

Looking forward to your update! :blush:

Hi @momen , @momenheshamahmed ,

Just checking in — is this issue still relevant on your end?

If so, could you please share the screenshots we mentioned earlier (element settings, database fields, and the expressions used for default values)? That will help us understand what’s going wrong and guide you further.

Looking forward to your reply!
