Date Time Editors

The Date Time property editors provide interfaces for selecting dates, times, and time zones. Each editor is designed for specific use cases, from basic date selection to comprehensive date/time handling with time zone support.

These property editors replace the legacy [Date Time](../date-time.md) property editor. They offer more focused functionality and specific return types (such as DateOnly, TimeOnly, DateTime, or DateTimeOffset). You can switch from the legacy Date Time editor by changing your properties to use the new editors.

Umbraco CMS currently ships with four Date Time editors:

Editor	Purpose	Use Cases	Return Type	Preview
Date Only	Date selection	Birthdays, deadlines, event dates	DateOnly
Time Only	Time selection	Business hours, schedules, time-based events	TimeOnly
Date Time (with Time Zone)	Full date, time, and time zone support	International apps, timezone-aware scheduling	DateTimeOffset
Date Time (Unspecified)	Date and time without a defined time zone	Local events, compatibility with Date Time	DateTime
