If you’ve ever filled out a task, scheduled a meeting, or logged an activity in Creatio, you know the default date picker experience can feel a bit rigid. Selecting a date is straightforward enough, but picking a precise time slot often requires manual typing or clicking through awkward radial controls.
The good news? This feature exists natively in Creatio 8.x and later. You don’t need custom code or complex UI schemas to unlock it, just a single feature flag. Here is how to enable it system-wide in under two minutes.
The Default View: Standard Date & Time Picker
Before toggling the feature, let’s look at how standard “Time” and “Date/Time” fields behave across Creatio object layouts. If you open a New Task window and click on the Due or Start field, Creatio displays the classic calendar pop-up. While functional, selecting an exact minute or time slot isn’t as fast as it could be.
Look, manually typing timestamps works, but giving users a structured drop-down list cuts down on entry errors and speeds up daily logging.
Step 1: Enable the Feature Flag
To get started, you’ll need an administrator account.
- Open a new tab in your browser and append /0/flags or /0/Shell/#Section/AppFeature_ListPage to your Creatio base URL.
- In the search bar on the Feature Management page, search for the code: EnableDateTimeCalendarListPickerView.
- If it doesn’t show up in the list (which is usually the case on default instances), click the New button at the top right.
- Set the Code to EnableDateTimeCalendarListPickerView.
- Check the Is enabled checkbox.
- Click Save in the top right. Creatio will automatically populate the Source as DbFeatureProvider.
Step 2: Apply the Changes
Once you’ve saved the feature flag, perform a quick refresh (F5 or Ctrl + R) or log out and log back into your Creatio instance to clear the system cache.
Step 3: Review Date-Time field on Tasks section
Now, head back to your Tasks section or any page containing a Date/Time field and open the picker. As you can see, Creatio now appends a dedicated time list right next to the calendar grid. Users can scroll through clean 15-minute intervals and pick exact times with a single click.
While we used the New Task screen as our example, enabling this single feature flag turns on the list-based picker globally across all objects and layouts in Creatio. Whether your team is scheduling Opportunities, setting up Service Calls, or updating custom date fields, they’ll instantly get the cleaner, faster list-picker experience. It’s one of the easiest quality-of-life upgrades you can give your end users!
