As development team we would like more controle over the timepicker/input dails regarding minutes. We have different customers used to have their employees input times in blocks of 10 and/or 15 minutes.

Example use-case:

A mechanic visits a customer for the maintenance of an airco. After the work is done:

  • He/she needs to provide the time of arrival at the customer;
  • He/she needs to provide the time of start and stop of work;
  • The employer requests the input time is rounded per 15 minutes;

Overall a mechanic is there to perform the task of maintaining or fixing the airo-unit. They (usually) don't want to be bothered with administrative tasks. So to ease them in their administrative work we want to simplify the timepicker's minute dail into 4 options of 00, 15, 30 or 45 minutes (currently this is 00, 01, 02, etc till 59 which makes the scroll wheel/dropdown much longer).

Unfortunately limiting the timepicker's dail into only 4 options is not yet possible so I want to ask if this option can be implemented at some point? Is there a work-around that does not involve rounding of input maybe..?

Yes, we have been looking into rounding the input down or up but this not the solution/wish our customers have.

Yes, and maybe a bit more settings, we used for some time a third party plugin for forms, there are some valuable options in their DateTime component that would be great to see in the Thinkwise platform as well.
