Frequently Asked Question Posted 06/24/2026

I'm trying to change the estimated Time of Day (TOD) value on a scene, but it keeps reverting to the original estimate no matter what I do. How do I get the TOD field to accept the value I want?

This usually happens when the TOD field's input control gets stuck. The quickest way to clear it is to temporarily switch that field to plain keyboard entry, set the value, then switch it back:

  1. Go to Settings > Text Fields > Script.
  2. Scroll down to TOD and change its input style from Time to Keyboard.
  3. Return to your scene and edit the TOD field again, typing the value you want. With the Keyboard input style it should accept and keep the value.
  4. Once the value sticks, go back to Settings > Text Fields > Script and set the TOD input style back to Time.

If you are using the time picker and tapping the Use Chosen Time button but the field still snaps back to the original estimate, the steps above will let you enter the value directly. If the problem returns on a specific project, send us a Bug Report with Data (Help > Contact Us > Bug Report > Bug Report (with Data)) so we can look at what's happening with that scene.
