I was programming with this component.I wanted to get Minute,Hour, Date and some others. See the images uploaded.
Within the dialog, I was able to assign the Minute and Hour to a variable. But for the Month,Date,and Year, there was not the option.
I am only showing the error/picture for the Date.
Thanks in advance.

Hi billduck,
The parameters is an input that's used if you have different functions that can be returned.
Just hover mouse below the Name or Type to see different return option values available:

In your case the Expression needs to be 0, since you want the normal clock hours & not any of the alarms assigned to your variable.
The Return value will be the variable you assigned for the function. e.g Hour.
Where there are not any parameters to enter, the component will only return the function name i.e in this case the Date:

I have moved the topic from bug reports, since not a bug.

There is a small section on arrays here that might be of use.
