cfml

Now... similar question for Lucee. On <https://docs.lucee.org/reference/tags/schedule.html> we have these two bits of conflicting information:

&gt;  starttime [...] Enter a value in seconds.
And:
&gt;  startTime="12:00 AM"
And in our code we're passing `00:05` which seems to work.

Can we get the description of that tightened up a bit? I presume it's "a string that can be interpreted as the time part of a datetime"? Or something like that? Maybe something like "A time in one of these formats: HH:mm, h:mmtt [etc]"

the magic is happening here, like a lot of cfml, it tries hard to understand whatever input is provided <https://github.com/lucee/Lucee/blob/6.0/core/src/main/java/lucee/runtime/op/date/DateCaster.java#L686>

Yep, cool: cheers for steering me there.
My point was more the docs should say, rather than needing to go check the code.

So the "Enter a value in seconds" is def wrong. And I could put "either a DateTime object, or a string that Lucee can interpret as a time, eg `14:00` or `2:00PM` etc)"

I am trying to remember how I managed to sort through that... I did a UI for them some time ago as a cmdbox module, and I had to go through all this for date/time:
