Pivot Issue

I have to use a root search in a pivot due to needing to join another data type. Is there a way to get _time to extract as Time? I have setup an eval in the pivot to extract the _time field but it wants to define _time as a string. Is there anyway to fix this?

Turns out there is no way to do this using the Pivot model at this time.
