The datetime widget translates a datetime picker to a datetime string. For saving the date only, use the date widget.

- **Name:** `datetime`
- **UI:** datetime picker
- **Data type:** Moment.js-formatted datetime string
- **Options:**
  - `default`: accepts a datetime string, or an empty string to accept blank input; otherwise defaults to current datetime
  - `format`: optional; accepts Moment.js [tokens](https://momentjs.com/docs/#/parsing/string-format/); defaults to raw Date object (if supported by output format)
- **Example:**
    ```yaml
    - label: 'Start time'
      name: 'start'
      widget: 'datetime'
      default: ''
      format: 'LLL'
    ```
