The date and time inputs provide a simple way for end users to pick values from a fixed set.

Date

To create an input for selecting a time, use the date input.

def formFieldSet = api.createConfiguratorEntry()

formFieldSet.inputs = [
    api.inputBuilderFactory()
        .createDateUserEntry('date')
        .buildContextParameter()
]

return formFieldSet

api.inputBuilderFactory()
        .createDateUserEntry('date')
        .getInput()

processor.addOrUpdateInput(                 //❶
        'ROOT',
        api.inputBuilderFactory()
                .createDateUserEntry('date')
                .buildMap()
)

❶ the processor can be one of the quoteProcessor, cProcessor, etc., which references subclasses of the CalculableLineItemCollectionBuilder

Minimum and Maximum Values

You can restrict the input from the user by setting minimum and maximum dates.

As of version 7.3, the functionality for setting the minimum and maximum values has not been implemented in the frontend application. However, you can still set these properties in a Groovy logic.
