ESRI js API Date Time Picker

Question

I'm using a Feature Layer with a Date field type, and I can see in the database that this is a datetime field, and would like to use a datetime picker in the js editor. I've tried using a jquery datetime picker, and cannot override the default ESRI/Dojo date picker.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Using a custom dijit in your editor is the correct solution. You need to tell the editor to use a different dijit when displaying the edit window:

...

var editSettings = {
    map: myMap,
    layerInfos: {
        "featureLayer": myLayer,
        "infoTemplate": myTemplate,
        "fieldInfos": [
             {'fieldName':'DATESTUFFHAPPENED','label':'Stuff Happened','customField':new dijit.form.DateTimeWidget({options_go_here})}
        ]
    }
};
var params = {settings: editSettings};
var editor = new esri.dijit.editing.Editor(params, 'my-div');

There's a possible custom widget here that you might find useful?
