I have a `text_input` and set it for `time` input.

I can enter the Hours and Minutes but I can't enter the seconds.

For the sake of it, here is the node:

```auto
[{"id":"18f400f0.a654f7","type":"ui_text_input","z":"d103f472.19f3c8","name":"","label":"TIME","tooltip":"","group":"ac199624.cb655","order":1,"width":"6","height":"1","passthru":true,"mode":"time","delay":"0","topic":"","x":110,"y":2190,"wires":[["54768865.bc0938","5352b2d0.e2516c"]]},{"id":"ac199624.cb655","type":"ui_group","name":"Group 6","tab":"de5134a7.f0a0d","order":6,"disp":true,"width":6},{"id":"de5134a7.f0a0d","type":"ui_tab","name":"Tab 6","icon":"dashboard","order":5}]

```

Some one please?

The Time option only allows you to set HH:MM. It is working entirely as implemented.

It uses the standard HTML5 time input - [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/time](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/time)
