How to include time picker in confluence ?
Asked by doeun:

Normally we have // for date picker, but I would like to know whether there is a way for time picker.

Like for example if I want to specified an incident even in a project do i have to include time by typing or is there any shortcut like // for date picker.

Our team also have the needs to include standard time field into the confluence page.   
Our use case is for Postmortem report -- so accurate timestamp is critical for the later metrics analysis.

Is there any new development or suggestion on this need?

Welcome to Community! It's nice to meet you.

There's not a feature like this built into Confluence, and we don't have plans to implement it in the near future, but you could try an add-on, such as [Handy Macros for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214971/handy-macros-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview&_ga=2.103573955.274388055.1556525097-1483961444.1556008674). This particular add-on has [a timestamp feature](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/HMFC/How+to+use+Handy+Timestamp+macro) that you could use to insert timestamps into your pages.

Please note it is not available for Confluence Cloud.

Otherwise you could try your hand at [Writing a User Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/writing-user-macros-4485.html) for this, if you have programming experience.

Let me know if you have any questions about that.

Regards,

Shannon

Thank you for mentioning our [Handy Macros for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214971/handy-macros-for-confluence-formatting-and-interactive-ui?tab=overview&hosting=datacenter&utm_source=atlassian-community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=handy-macros-traffic-sources&utm_id=1216111&utm_content=time_picker) app which is a bundle containing of different macros which can be combined.

[Handy Timestamp](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/hmfc/server-dc/handy-timestamp/how-to-use-handy-timestamp) - allows to record the specific moment so its date and time remain unchangeable.

We also have [Handy Date](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/hmfc/server-dc/handy-date/how-to-use-handy-date) with the opportunity for choosing the date via the date picker directly in the view mode.

Additionally, we have released [Handy Status Timestamp](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/hmfc/server-dc/handy-status-timestamp/how-to-use-handy-status-timestamp). As it allows you to add the date and time of the last status update to a Confluence page and instantly see and automatically update status meta information in combination with [Handy Status](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/hmfc/server-dc/handy-status/how-to-use-handy-status), a specific status set can be created, which can act as a workaround for the time picker functionality.

You can check out any of those macros to see if it's a good fit for your needs.

Have a lovely Friday!

Kind regards,

Anastasia
