Is it possible to prevent the time field to expect seconds in Laravel Backpack? - laravel

Question

I'm working with Laravel Backpack and for a specific model I want the user to be able to add a "start time" using the time field type. I want the user to enter this format: hh:mm.
While creating the entity it works fine. But in the edit mode the value of the input field has this format: hh:mm:ss
The field is declared like this:
[
'name' => 'start_time',
'label' => "Beginn",
'type' => 'time'
],
The corresponding field in the DB looks like this:
$table->time('start_time')->nullable();
When the model is created this works as expected what means, that I can enter the time in hh:mm format. For example I enter "14:00".
After saving the model, in the DB I have the value stored as 14:00:00.
Now, when I go to the edit view the value in the corresponding time input field is also 14:00:00.
I assume this is because in the DB the value is stored including the seconds.
Is it possible to store a time in the DB without the seconds? So just in the format hh:mm?
For more details I have some screenshots that show what I meant:

I think you can make it work by defining the step attribute in the field https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/time#using_the_step_attribute
