Is there a form element that accepts only a single datetime value?

User will be entering two fields, field 1 as a single datetime and field 2 as a duration like "1h".

Based on this two inputs, need to calculate and set time values as below

For eg:

User input field 1[TimeTokenMid] --> 07/12/2022:18:00:00

User input field 2[Duration] --> "1h"

Need to calculate and set time ranges as below using relative_time function.

Token_1 = 07/12/2022:17:00:00 [TimeTokenMid - Duration using relative_time fnc]

Token_2 = 07/12/2022:19:00:00 [TimeTokenMid + Duration using relative_time fnc]

Currently i am taking field 1[TimeTokenMid] as text and doing calculation as the current timepicker control is not allowing to set a single custom time value. It has options only for selecting a range like (last 60 mins, between x and y etc)like that. In my usecase,I want to take a single timevalue input and calculate time ranges(+-) based on the duration input dynamically. Could you please suggest any solution?

One way is to use <eval token /> under <progress /> with a fake search, as inspired by .

For example,

<form>
  <label>Set time window</label>
  <search>
    <query>
      | makeresults
    </query>
    <progress>
      <condition match="true()">
        <eval token="latest_tok">strftime(relative_time(strptime($Token_1$, "%m/%d/%Y:%H:%M:%S"), "+" . $Token_2$), "%m/%d/%Y:%H:%M:%S")</eval>
      </condition>
    </progress>
  </search>
  <fieldset submitButton="false">
    <input type="dropdown" token="Token_1" searchWhenChanged="true">
      <label>start time</label>
      <choice value="07/12/2022:17:00:00">07/12/2022:17:00:00</choice>
      <choice value="07/13/2022:17:00:00">07/13/2022:17:00:00</choice>
      <choice value="07/14/2022:17:00:00">07/14/2022:17:00:00</choice>
      <initialValue>07/12/2022:17:00:00</initialValue>
    </input>
    <input type="dropdown" token="Token_2" searchWhenChanged="true">
      <label>interval</label>
      <choice value="2h">2h</choice>
      <choice value="4h">4h</choice>
      <choice value="8h">8h</choice>
      <choice value="12h">12h</choice>
      <default>2h</default>
    </input>
  </fieldset>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <html>
        <div>latest token: $latest_tok$</div>
      </html>
    </panel>
  </row>
</form>
