Hi, I found a post on the airtable community that sort of answered my question, Is there a way to add Time, without date, field option.  
Here is the thread: [Time (without date) field option - Airtable Community](https://community.airtable.com/t5/product-ideas/time-without-date-field-option/idi-p/87895)

None of the answers were exactly what I wanted, and curious if this community knows another workaround.

Welcome to the TableForums Community!

Since Airtable does not support a native time field without a date, the workarounds in that thread are your options.

- use a single line text field
- use a duration field
- use a single-select field

To combine the time with a date, use `DATETIME_PARSE()`. You will also likely need to deal with timezone issues by adding an offset (which might change depending on daylight savings time).

If you use a text field or a duration field, you may also need to deal with invalid data.

Regarding the time zone issues that @Kuovonne mentioned, my sample base & training video might help you too:
