How to change the time to set intervals of 15 minutes

Question

I’m customizing a standard Acumatica field so that instead of showing hours in 30-minute increments, it shows 15-minute increments.

Currently, the field uses the default PXDateTimeEdit control (with TimeMode="True") and the standard [PXDBDateAndTime] attribute. In the UI, the time picker always shows 30-minute steps.

DAC

[PXDBDateAndTime(
    UseTimeZone = true,
    PreserveTime = true,
    DisplayNameDate = "Scheduled Start Date",
    DisplayNameTime = "Scheduled Start Time",
    TimeStep = 15 
)]
[PXUIField(DisplayName = "Scheduled Start DateTime")]
public virtual DateTime? ScheduledDateTimeBegin { get; set; }
public abstract class scheduledDateTimeBegin : PX.Data.BQL.BqlDateTime.Field<scheduledDateTimeBegin> { }



ASPX - xml

<px:PXDateTimeEdit ID="edScheduledStartDate" runat="server" 
    DataField="ScheduledStartDate" CommitChanges="True" TimeStep="15" />

What I’m looking for: A supported way in Acumatica to change the time selection interval (in minutes) for a standard field, without creating a completely new control, ideally by modifying the DAC, using CacheAttached, or adjusting the ASPX definition.

You can set the time picker interval by specifying the PXTimeList in the DAC attribute using a cache-attached handler, like this:

[PXTimeList(15, 96)]
[PXMergeAttributes(Method = MergeMethod.Merge)]
protected virtual void DAC_TimeSpent_CacheAttached(PXCache sender)
{
}

I tried this approach some time ago, and it worked well.

Hope this helps!
