How to customise datepicker times?

[VeiJari]

Hello forum! 

Our customer wants to choose only 15 minute intervals in the inputfield Datetime. So the dropdown values would be: 0, 15, 30 and 45.

Is there an easy way to achieve this?

Any help is appreciated ?

It's possible, but not as simple as it should be because it seems that the option() method of Datepicker (and Timepicker) is not working for the stepMinute option.

Instead it seems you have to destroy and re-init the datepicker if you change stepMinute. In some custom admin JS, for a field named "date"...

// For a Datetime field named "date" with time enabled
$('#Inputfield_date').on('focus', function() {
	// Get the existing options for the Datetimepicker
	var options = $(this).datetimepicker('option', 'all');
	// If the picker has the default stepMinute setting...
	if(options.stepMinute === 1) {
		// Set custom stepMinute setting
		options.stepMinute = 15;
		// Destroy picker
		$(this).datetimepicker('destroy');
		// Re-initialise picker
		$(this).datetimepicker(options);
	}
});

Ah thank you for this. It was a bit weird for having to reinit it ?
