How to use date and time selectors in OneNote 2010

microsoft-onenotemicrosoft-onenote-2010

The default note template in OneNote 2010 has date and time selectors underneath the note title, which automatically inputs the date and time when the note is created and can be manually adjusted by clicking on the calendar/ clock icons.

How can I use these date and time selectors elsewhere in my notes? And can I attach them to note containers?

I am aware that date and time can be inserted from the Insert ribbon, but these are not what I am looking for.

I don't believe this is possible. The date/time selectors underneath the title are a feature of the title, and not a standard date/time input. The only options provided in this list are the standard date/time inserts you've mentioned. Still I've poked around extensivly and there aren't any hidden options for this, and I have been unable to find anything about this elsewhere, not even an add-in.

OneNote is genearlly just for storing ideas and notes, and so I guess theres no need for a date picker as you'd only need the date the entry was added.

If you are looking to create a form for others to complete you'd be better off with SharePoint/Infopath or even Excel.
