Hi @Edward_Darrah,

At this point in time, no there isn't. But here are some snippets you can use.

12h time using text fields

{formtext: name=hours; default=0; cols=2}:{formtext: name=mins; default=00; cols=2}{formmenu: name=ampm; default=am; pm; cols=6}
{timeset=hours&":"&mins&ampm}

{=catch({time: h:mma; at={=timeset}; pattern=h[:]ma}, "Invalid time")}

24h time using text fields

{formtext: name=hours; default=00; cols=2}:{formtext: name=mins; default=00; cols=2}
{timeset=hours&":"&mins}

{=catch({time: HH:mm; at={=timeset}; pattern=H[:]m}, "Invalid time")}

12h time using dropdown menus

{formmenu: name=hours; values={=seq(1,12)}; cols=5}:{formmenu: name=mins; values={=seq(0,59)}; cols=5}{formmenu: name=ampm; default=am; pm; cols=6}
{timeset=hours&":"&mins&ampm}

{=catch({time: h:mma; at={=timeset}; pattern=h[:]ma}, "Invalid time")}

24h time using dropdown menus

{formmenu: name=hours; values={=seq(1,23)}; cols=5}:{formmenu: name=mins; values={=seq(0,59)}; cols=5}
{timeset=hours&":"&mins}

{=catch({time: HH:mm; at={=timeset}; pattern=H[:]m}, "Invalid time")}

This is now available in Text Blaze :slightly_smiling_face: Check out December Development Update for the details and a set of sample snippets.
