DateTimeValueSpec

  • The DateTimeDialogSpec is used to control prompts when asking a user for a date and/or time.

  • It utilizes specific fields like requestDatetimeText, requestDateText, and requestTimeText to customize the prompts for requesting the date and time, date only, or time only, respectively.

  • While these fields offer guidance for generating prompts, the system may adjust phrasing based on user interactions, such as using a fallback prompt like "Sorry; $request_(datetime/date/time)_text" if the initial prompt fails to elicit a valid response.
