I have a screen where the user edits an existing log entry. So the user has already picked a log entry which has a date and time. I pass these along as temporary variables.
On the edit screen the date input and time input boxes should start with the date and time of the entry being edited. I don’t see where this is possible. It’s confusing if the input boxes start with the current date.
I can work around by splitting the add and edit screens and having redundant boxes for the existing log entry date and time and the input boxes elsewhere labeled “Change time/date…” but still it’s inconvenient for the user to have to wind back the calendar or clock to a point that’s probably near the original entry.
So what I’d like to see is something like the “Hint” field for other input types.
