Hi Tejas,

Welcome to the platform! Immediate values of a Date, DateTime or Time variable should be placed between hashes. For a Time variable, the format is #hh:mm:ss#. So in your case, enter #09:00:00#.

Is it possible to just show the hours and minutes only? e.g. 09:00 ? Tried using the format #00\:00# it is not allowed

Hi Boney,

You can use this extension https://www.outsystems.com/forge/component_details.aspx?ProjectId=67  to format date time in any format you want. And here is a reference on how to use it: https://www.outsystems.com/forums/discussion/3705/new-feature-in-extension-text-to-format-date-time-expressions/

Hi Boney,

This question was about setting a default value, not about displaying. If you want to display a time without the seconds, simply do a SubStr(TimeToText(timeVar), 0, 5).

In OutSystems 10 there is already a format builtin that allows you to do that.
