Sorry, Joe, perhaps I didn't clarify the problem correctly. That's not quite what I meant. Basically, what our client wants us to achieve, is that for EVERY date/time field, the calendar widget should default to TIMESTAMP, as opposed to DATE only. I could achieve the same thing by modifying each date/time field in the /Field Properties/Attributes Tab and set the Default Value to $TIMESTAMP$, which would result in the TIMESTAMP being correctly displayed in the calendar widget for each date/time field. But this would also mean that each and every date/time field in our system would then be saved to the DB with a default value set, which is obviously not what we want – for obvious reasons, some date/time fields should remain empty until e.g. certain state transitions have taken place etc. Does that make sense?
