    Hey, I created an event page with some custom fields. I had to switch from DateTime to Date and Time so I could correctly populate the Google schema.

    Unfortunately, the values ​​in the Time field can't be saved.

    Hello Tobias,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    This happens because the setting timestamp is still applied to the time field.

            {
            "id": "event_time_start",
            "type": "time",
            "label_description": "Um wie viel Uhr beginnt das Event?",
            "placeholder": "09:00",
            "timestamp": true,
            "inline": false,
            "columns": 3,
            "prepend": "Beginnt um:",
            "tab": "tab_event_details"
        },

    You can remove it from the JSON file or add the field setting timestamp -> false to fix the issue, screenshot https://imgur.com/ZkRFC2f

    Hey Peter,

    Thanks so much! That did the trick. Unfortunately, it’s a bit inconvenient that the values don’t update or get cleared when changing the custom field. It was originally set as a Datetime field, which I later changed to a Time field — ideally, the timestamp attribute should automatically be removed in that case.

    Anyway, it worked! Maybe this feedback is helpful for you and the team.
    Wishing you all a great start to the new year!

    Hello,

    Thanks for your confirmation.

    I've escalated this issue to the development team to fix it in the next update of the builder plugin.
