Change values

MangoMap picks each field’s control:

Date picker: the field has a Date & Time format.
Number: the value is a number.
Text: any other field.

Click the calendar icon in a date field to open its picker. The picker shows times in your browser’s time zone. Click OK to use the new value, or Cancel to keep the old one.

Below it, the Inspected On field shows a date only (2026-01-13)$
