The `date` node is nice to pick a date.....

Is there one to pick a time in a similar way?

What date node? there are a few 🙂

What are you needing? A dashboard time scheduler like the `ui_scheduler` node?

Or one for the editor...

The `date` node that comes stock with the dashboard.

Only to keep things separate, I am asking here. It is to do with that other question.  
I'm trying a different approach / scheme to attack the problem.

Sorry, I haven't been tracking whatever topic you are referring too.

**EDIT**.. OK found it - [Looking for a GUI node for schedule but can't find what I need](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/looking-for-a-gui-node-for-schedule-but-cant-find-what-i-need/50781). I think it would have been better to stay in that topic.

(Sorry.... )

I am trying to _make_ a GUI date/time picker that is adjustable from the GUI.

The node you suggested doesn't quite _cut the mustard_ for what I want to do.

So I am just looking for different ways to _skin this cat_.

The `text input` node does it!

Sorry. I knew it was there somewhere.
