Hi,

Any idea of how to format a time as AM/PM, 12hrs format?

Example: 23:52 should look like 11:53PM.

Using Essentials to get mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm AM

DateTime_Format(DateTimeField,"/",False)
+ " " +
TimeToAmPmText(DateTimeToTime(DateTimeField),False)

So basically you can't do this in any 8.0 version? Does 9.0 support this display format without this plugin?

Check out the Text component I believe, in there there is also a format_datetime action?

You can do this in any version. You have to code it. If the hour is < 12 it's AM, otherwise subtract 12 from the hour and slap a PM onto it.

The Essentials component works great. I would recommend it.
