In the flow designer for action item input types, there is date/time, basic date/time, schedule date/time, and calendar date/time. What is the difference? I could not see all of these covered in the documentation.

ctsmith,
I believe they all extend date/time apart from Schedule Date/Time which extends string which ultimately maps onto the underlying database table date/time. The interesting thing is when you pick the different types, the type displayed in the data bus is different anyway :-
Personally I always use Date/Time or string and then parse/validate the value inside a script step if required.
Hope this helps a little...
