Is the "Date and/or time" Helper Reocurring or Just Once?

The entire question is in the subject line.

It’s a simple question. For example, if I set a date of November 25, 2025, using the “Date and/or time” helper, will that just work for that one date, or will it work every November 25th?

I looked at the Input Datetime subject in the documentation, but still couldn’t tell.

Hello Dean,

It is a single value.

The helper records a particular date (and time). Like “Feb. 1, 2024.” You can build automations that use the helper to do stuff, but the datetime helper won’t do that for you by itself. All it does is to record a date (and time)
