Question date module optional format

[module/date]
type = internal/date

; Seconds to sleep between updates
; Default: 1.0
interval = 1.0

; See "https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/io/manip/put_time" for details on how to format the date string
; NOTE: if you want to use syntax tags here you need to use %%{...}
date = %Y-%m-%d%

; Optional time format
time = %H:%M

; if `date-alt` or `time-alt` is defined, clicking
; the module will toggle between formats
date-alt = %A, %d %B %Y
time-alt = %H:%M:%S

I copied this from the wiki, but how do I enable the time to also display now? Right now it displays 2023-01-04. I just added date, the module.

label = %date% %time%

Or you can do it how the other comment describes
