==The "edit_date" Element==

The "edit_date" element allows the user to edit a structured date or time that adheres to the syntactic rules defined for the game system. If a "game world" date or time is edited, then the proper pieces are presented to the user, as dictated by the structure specified for each within the definition file. If a "real world" date or time is edited, then the traditional pieces are presented. This makes it possible to ensure the user enters a syntactically valid date/time, although semantic rules are not currently enforced. The complete list of attributes for this element is below.

:{| class="infotable"
|class="leftnormal"|field
|Id – Specifies the unique id of the field where the date/time value to be edited is both retrieved and stored. The field must exist within the pick/thing associated with the containing template. If this portal is not defined within a template, an editdate portal is not allowed.
|-
|readonly
|(Optional) Boolean – Indicates whether the information within the portal can be edited by the user or is displayed as read-only. Default: "no".
|-
|format
|(Optional) Set – Designates the formatting behavior to be utilized. Must be one of these values: 
gamedate – The contents are edited as a game system date. 
gametime – The contents are edited as a game system time. 
realdate – The contents are edited as a real world date. 
realtime – The contents are edited as a real world time. 
Default: "realdate".
|-
|}

==Example==

The following example demonstrates what an editdate portal might look like. All default values are assumed for optional attributes.

<pre>
<portal id="date" style="editDate">
<edit_date field="thedate" format="gamedate"/>
</portal>
</pre>
