Time AM/PM

[nazaret]

Hi, I have a question, is it possible to set the time format to appear with AM/PM, for example, 08:00 AM ?

Hola, tengo una pregunta, ¿es posible configurar el formato de hora para que aparezca con AM/PM, por ejemplo, 08:00 AM?

Hi @nazaret,

The format-date-time operator accepts following formatting, according to Form Operators and Functions - ODK Docs

%H	0-padded hour (24-hr time)
%h	hour (24-hr time)
%M	0-padded minute
%S	0-padded second
%3	0-padded millisecond ticks.

So setting it to display AM/PM seems not easy, Kal suggested something else before:

I have a field its "Date and time", so I like to display it as "mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss AM/PM"

Welcome to the community, @idankhalil! One option is to change the date and time to your device’s desired format and download your data. Maybe you should be able to see the desired result in your download.

Hope this works.
Best,

but, we need that the interviewer carries out the survey it appears like this AM/PM

@nazaret, I made a quick test, the Enketo Web Form uses browser’s language to determine am / pm or 24 hour time, in a time type question. English (United States) language selected in Google Chrome:

So eventually, it will come to which language your interviewer uses in their device.

Hope this helps.
