Alias: Umbraco.DateTime
Returns: DateTime
Displays a calendar UI for selecting dates which are saved as a DateTime value.
There are two settings available for manipulating the DateTime property.
One is to set a format. By default the format of the date in the Umbraco backoffice will be YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss
, but you can change this to something else. See MomentJS.com for the supported formats.
The second setting is "Offset time". When enabling this setting the displayed time will be offset with the servers timezone. This can be useful in cases where an editor is in a different timezone than the hosted server.

If Modelsbuilder is enabled you can get the alias of the desired property without using a magic string:
