Hi,  
I am trying to display time from a User Input (I’m using the Time Picker element to allow users to input a time easily). The “Time” field as you can see from the picture below. Everything works great up to this part…

When I go to display the time from my database with a text box, it doesn’t allow me to click the “Time” field.

What can I do to solve this? any other way to display time?

Thanks so much Givemewhisky, however I am having trouble doing using the methods suggested. Would it be possible to use a normal text field in my form while validating the users input? I would like the user to enter a time in HH:MM format (ex. 14:30). I see that there is an option to add a regex ‘pattern validation’:

Is this something I can use?
