[Vtigercrm-developers] Has anyone else had a problem with a user's date format preference interfered with a custom datetime field?

[Alan Lord]

vtiger open source doesn't really have an "editable" datetime field 
UIType. The one used for Modified and Created time values is really only 
a read-only field type.

I had to create a custom UItype field for one customer who really wanted 
an editable datetime field. You will also need a different UX library to 
let you edit it in Detail and Edit Views. FWIW I used a small library 
called FlatPickr. Honestly it was a right PITA and took me ages to get 
all the possible ways a user could edit/view it to work properly in 
multiple timezones.
