I have a number of columns defined in my MySQL database as \"time\". That is, they have a time, but not a date. When they are read by the CakePHP 3 ORM, they are being conve
the fact is cakePHP perform your time value as Time Object which extends carbon and dateTime so u get a full dateTime instance included date :(
however u can easily perform an automatic set with your entity. U only have to use Accessors & Mutators describe here: http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/orm/entities.html#accessors-mutators
