    I would like to include 2 fields on my form: a start and end time for an event. How would I configure a time widget so that the time is entered in US Eastern Standard time?


    Thank you

    Hi raiderfundraiser,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. You can try to add an Appointment Widget to your form to determine a Start Date and End Date. You can also set the timezone when using this widget. Let me show you how to set that up:

    1. In Form Builder, Click Add form element button.
    2. In Basic tab, select or drag and drop the Appointment widget to your form. Form: How to add Event Start and End Time? Image 1 Screenshot 40
    3. Customize it by clicking the Gear Icon.
    4. Go to Availability tab to customize Slot durations and time.
    5. Go to Limits tab to customize or set available dates and limits.
    6. Lastly, go to Advanced tab to set default time zone. You will have the option to lock the time zone by enabling the toggle to Lock the time zone field. Form: How to add Event Start and End Time? Image 2 Screenshot 51

    By locking the Time zone, responders will not be able to select their own time zone.

    Now you can duplicate the widget for the End date.

    Here's a screencast of the result:

    If that’s not exactly what you’re looking for, can you explain a bit more, so we can help you better? It would also help us to understand what’s happening if you could take a screenshot and send it to us. We have a guide here explaining how to do that.

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
