No i have the token with other name but i don't know why the only one that doesn't work is the tokens of the time input, the others work fine....

That's because the time tokens are special, they are objects containing two fields: earliest and latest (as already stated in the answer above). You should be able to get them with token_name.earliest or token_name.earliest_time, or as kedjjang mentioned with your_token.optionsdefault.earliest_time.

When i open the dashboard the only tokens that don't work are these related to time inputs because the others work fine. As I have the tokens set are working but just after i change the time input to other date. The first time the dashboard loads, the get of the earliest and latest gives undefined

Ok i tried only the token_name.earliest and it works but only after i change the time, because the first time that i open the dashboard it can't get the value of the token_name.earliest.
When you open the dashboard the value of earliest and latest of the time token are undefined and I don't know why cause all the other are working correctly.

Thank you.

Fixed with respect to this issue.

var tokens = mvc.Components.getInstance ("kang");
var defaultEtime = tokens.options.default.earliest_time;
