 * Hello,
 * I am currently using the **Date Time** field type, but I noticed that there is
   no option to input seconds (HH:MM:SS. I need the ability to input time in the**
   HH:MM** format for my project. Could you please suggest a workaround for including
   seconds in the time field?
 * Thank you for your support!
 * Best regards,
 * Dennis

 * Hello [@denba](https://wordpress.org/support/users/denba/)
 * In the current plugin version, it would require to customize your plugin copy,
   or emulate the time component with dropdown fields. The plugin includes multiple
   alternatives to distribute the fields in columns. Please watch the following 
   video:
 * [https://youtu.be/NSac2cAN8RE](https://youtu.be/NSac2cAN8RE)
 * For example, assuming that fieldname1 is a date field, fieldname2 is a dropdown
   list for hours, fieldname3 is another dropdown list for minutes, and fieldname4
   is a third dropdown field for seconds.
 * As part of the equation you can include the piece of code:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       let d = CONCATENATE(CDATE(fieldname1, 'yyyy/mm/dd'), ' ', fieldname2|r, ':', fieldname3|r, ':', fieldname4|r);
       ```
   
 * Now the d variable contains a text with the format “yyyy/mm/dd hh:ii:ss” and 
   you can use it with the Date/Time operations:
