Hi,
In my form, I have labeled my time input as field3 such as:
input type="time" token="field3" searchWhenChanged="true"
In the search below it, I want to calculate the time as seconds, using
| eval time_s=$field3.latest$ - $field3.earliest$
But I got error.
Any idea how to use the Time Input field to calculate the time in seconds?
Thanks.

As an alternative, you can do this instead:
... | addinfo | eval time_s = info_max_time - info_min_time

I am not sure of the purpose of this calculation, however, Earliest and Latest Time selected in a Search through Input Control are available as $job.searchLatestTime$ and $job.searchEarliestTime$ in preview and finalized search event handler. You can use eval attribute to calculate time span in seconds applied to search via time input.
<search>
<query>|makeresults </query>
<earliest>$field3.earliest$</earliest>
<latest>$field3.latest$</latest>
<sampleRatio>1</sampleRatio>
<preview>
<eval token="SearchSpan">$job.searchLatestTime$-$job.searchEarliestTime$</eval>
</preview>
</search>
You can then use the token in your form like in the following HTML panel
<html>
Selected Time Span=$SearchSpan$
</html>
</panel>
| makeresults | eval message= "Happy Splunking!!!"

Upvote because for this usage, there's no reason to futz with anything else.

The really nice thing about this option is that you might have multiple timepickers and even then, you might override all of them with earliest=; this should handle every case with no thinking/planning/upkeep.

Whenever you get an error, you should report the error text, too.
