Hello, is it possible to set a default value for the time picker of a date chooser?

I've tried this but it didn't work:

isc.DynamicForm.create({
    ID: "dateForm",
    numCols: 4,    
    width: 650,
    fields: [
        {
         name:"directInputDate", title:"Direct Input Date", editorType:"DateTimeItem", useTextField:true,
             pickerTimeItemProperties:{
               hourItemProperties:{defaultValue: 13}
             }
        
        }
    ]
});

Does it work if you set the defaultValue directly on the pickerTimeItemProperties, for example, as "13:00"?

I've tried this, without success:

isc.DynamicForm.create({
    ID: "dateForm",
    numCols: 4,    
    width: 650,
    fields: [
        {
         name:"directInputDate", title:"Direct Input Date", editorType:"DateTimeItem", useTextField:true,
             pickerTimeItemProperties:{
               defaultValue: "13:00"
             }
        }
    ]
});

Hm, yes, unfortunately there is no easy way to do this at the moment - if the item has no value, the default for the DateChooser's timeItem is now.

One way to achieve what you want (an arbitrary default time, in the absence of a current date-time value or default) might be with code like this, which overrides showPicker():

showPicker: function () {
    var result = this.Super("showPicker", arguments);
    if (!this.getValue()) {
        // no value in the dateTimeItem, override the default time in the DateChooser (which is now)
        this.picker.timeForm.getItem(0).setValue("13:35");
    }
    return result;
}

Actually, you can just set item.defaultChooserDate, including the time portion you want.

thank you very much, this is working:

isc.DynamicForm.create({
    ID: "dateForm",
    numCols: 4,    
    width: 650,
    fields: [
        {
         name:"directInputDate", title:"Direct Input Date", editorType:"DateTimeItem", useTextField:true,
             defaultChooserDate: isc.Time.createLogicalTime(13)
       }
    ]
});
