Allow creation of datetime field from Contact Property area (not just API).

[AJLaPorte_diagr]

There are many times when a datetime field can be beneficial for use in the contact properties. There are currently a few fields (HubSpot defaults) that contain this data but you cannot create a custom property for this kind of data through the editor screen. 

HubSpot default datetime field

Allowing this would help with building more precise workflows when it comes to email sending or time-sensitive emails like drip campaigns from workflows.

Good news @LJohnson83 @TylerA and everyone else, I just saw this is now in PRIVATE beta.  Opt yourselves in!

Just give us one Datetime property on each object that is not a HubSpot protected property and then we can clone it as needed. Put a limit on the number of datetime fields if it's an issue.   For me I need a datetime property on Deals.  PlusThis can create contact datetime properties but not deal properties.

hummmm 2023 still no datetime fields?

[darshakparmar19]

In desperate need of this. And disappointed to see that it has been open for over three years!

On the basis the API now supports creation of datetime fields, and that it can be done via javascript, there's no reason the UI shouldn't have this option built in. Hubspot, get one of your internship programmers to do the HTML for it, it will be a fun morning exercise for them to complete.

Do we have any updates on this?

[ETech0]

It looks like this works:
POST https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/properties/contacts

{
  "groupName": "group_name",
  "name": "time_property",
  "label": "Time Property",
  "hidden": false,
  "type": "datetime",
  "fieldType": "date",
  "formField": false
}

So wish this were a feature!!!

3 years on and nothing....

[YWang4]

Date/Time is a must have.  Looks like it's been over 2 years since it was requested.  Would really like to see an update on this.  Coming from usiing Hubspot's competitors who have this feature, it's frustrating to see something as basic/fundamental as this is not available.

Hello! I wanted to post on here in support of customers who would like to see this property functionality available as son as we can make it happen! Any update on current progress would be much appreciated! 🙂

[dtavenues]

Really powerful feature. Also allows for more in-depth workflow automations.. Hope you guys figure it out.

[JorgeAR]

Still waiting for a solution here 😞 

[DHalliNet]

We need this ASAP.  I am signing up CRM customers coming from other systems and they all have and use DateTime fields.  Please make this a top priority!

[JustinJoyce]

Shocked this is not a feature!

[patrick_kaiser]

@hubspot product team: Common sense aside, how many upvotes and responses do you need to consider this must-have feature for your roadmap?

[NBedo]

Folks, this is embarassing. And it costs us valuable time and money. I shouldn't need to take developer time to implement something like this.

Any progress on this?

This is one of those things that you just need to fix now. It should have been fixed before beta, but better late than never. Whatever else you are working on, could you stop for like 1 hour or so and just fix this really basic simple thing that should have worked from day ONE? Hello! DateTime value, it's a simple DateTime value, it has a date and a time. Time is really important, our day does not start at 0 and jump to 24. We have hours and minutes and seconds in between. That's when most of life happens. Anyone in there? Are there humans programming this system or have the machines taken over? How is this still something that is waiting to be fixed? You created all of HubL before fixing this! Priorities ...

Hi @jeffvincent. Thank you for keeping this issue top of mind for the product team. Have there been any updates in the past year since you posted?

[Kestrel]

+1 this is much needed.

[darshakparmar]

Does this really need to be reviewed? It's a no brainer!
