Do you really need the DB field to be hours and minutes, or would *displaying
it* as hours and minutes be good enough? Um, no, I guess ... you want to
restrict the user to *entering* hours and minutes (and we see below that
you want to further restrict what minutes are allowed. But once the input
is validated, the DB can hold a normal datetime field, right?

That doesn't sound like one of the validators that comes pre-cooked, but I
think (says the newbie) that I've seen recent posts describing how to
concatenate multiple validators on a field, and I'm going to make a
baseless claim that writing your own to check that minutes is 0 or 30 will
be easy, and then just concatenate it after the IS_DATETIME.
Thanks in advance! and for the great community really learning a lot from
