optional, default is yyyy-MM-dd

Format in which the date is displayed to users. See the SimpleDateFormat class for allowed patterns.

Examples:

dateFormat: yyyy-MM-dd           # 2017-10-31
dateFormat: yyyy-MMMM-dd         # 2017-October-31
dateFormat: EEE, MMM d, yyyy     # Tue, Oct 31, 2017

optional, default is now

Set the default value to a specific date such as "2017-10-31" or use the keyword now which defaults to the current date and time. Current time means time at the host server. Magnolia stores dates and times using server time. The stored time is converted and displayed to users in their preferred time zone.

The default value only applies to new content items, not to existing content items that have been created previously.

 Enclose the default value in quotes when using YAML:

defaultValue: "2017-10-31"
defaultValue: "2017-10-31 15:09"

If you define the dateFormat or timeFormat properties then provide the defaultValue using those same formats:

dateFormat: MM/dd/yyyy
timeFormat: h:mm a
defaultValue: "10/31/2017 3:09 PM"

optional, default is HH:mm

Format in which time is displayed to users. See SimpleDateFormat class for allowed patterns.

Examples:

timeFormat: HH:mm     # 15:09
timeFormat: h:mm a    # 3:09 PM
