Hello,  
I would like to recreate a parameter value established as a time calendar input like this:

I know that when I create a new parameter value and if I type true or false, it automatically changes it to the true or false check mark.  
However, what do I type or do, so that it changes it to the date time calendar selector as you can see in the screenshot above?

This isn't currently possible for arbitrary `params` entries, but will be some day:
